This research employed the empirical method in its approach and workings. Empirical data were collected and various hydrological computations and graphs were engaged through the application of the collected data. The mass curve of rainfall, hyetograph, moving average of annual rainfalls and the computations of recurrence intervals were done by applying the Weibul formular. With computations and its analysis, the recurrent intervals of rainfall magnitudes were determined and rainfall pattern within Imo State were predicted.
