**4. Conclusion**

The study was mainly done on comparing the rainfall received across the Indian subcontinent to the specific state of India named Kerala. It has found that the amount of rain received across the state of Kerala has a direct impact on the overall rain received across subcontinent. The rainfall pattern was also analysed for the four predominant climatic patterns prevailing over India. It was also found that except the summer season, all three other seasons of the subcontinent follows the same pattern that prevails over the state of Kerala. Summer rainfall does not follow any specific pattern. Another interesting conclusion is that the overall rainfall does not show any significant change during the study duration. The second part of study was done with respect to the solar cycles. Based on the available data the solar cycles 19 to 23 were mapped based on the based criteria to verify significant changes if any. But there also no major changes identified. The last work was on comparing the maximum and minimum rainfall received during the maximum sun spot years to the average rainfall received between the years 1951 to 2014. This study also concludes that both average correlates very highly. This study points to the fact that the overall rainfall pattern across Indian subcontinent has not change much for the last 60 years or so and also that the solar activities like sun spots do not affect the rainfall pattern at all.
