Rainfall is an important component of hydrological cycle. The attempt has been made to study temporal variation in monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall over meteorological sub-division Gujarat, India, during the period from 1871 to 2011. Long term change in rainfall was determined by Mann-Kendall rank statistics and linear trend analysis. The analysis revealed insignificant slight decrease in southwest monsoon rainfall while increase in post-monsoon season over the State of Gujarat. An important aspect of the present study is the insignificant decrease in southwest monsoon rainfall while increase in rainfall in post-monsoon season. Rainfall decline is more predominant in June and July but not so in August and September within the monsoon season. There was a major shift in rainfall pattern temporarily during recent years as seasonal rainfall during the southwest monsoon was declining while increasing in post-monsoon season.
