Results of a climatological study of radar echoes around Nagpur for the monsoon months (June to September) based on data from 1960 to 1968 have been presented in this paper. Average distribution of echoes around Nagpur during the monsoon months have a broad common pattern with two maxima in sectors within diagonally opposite northeast and southwest quadrants and two minima in the remaining quadrants. Diurnal variation in the echo frequency in different sectors is not significant In July, August and September, whereas it is quite pronounced In June.
