In this context, attempts were made to verify the weather forecast received on every Tuesday and Friday from NCMRWF/IMD. The verification analysis was carried out for six important weather parameters on seasonal and annual basis through various verification techniques viz., Ratio score, Critical success index, Heidke skill score, Hansen and Kuiper score, Root Mean Square Error, Usability Analysis and Correlation Analysis for the year 2021-22, analysis was done on block basis. We have selected 3 blocks (i.e., Dhamtari, Ambikapur and Jagdalpur) which represent the three Agro-climatic Zones of Chhattisgarh (Dhamtari-Chhattisgarh plateau, Ambikapur- Northern hill and Jagdalpur – Bastar plateau). All parameters viz., rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature and wind speed showed highest success percentage at all 3 blocks. Usability analysis gave best performance in Jagdalpur block.
