An attempt is made in this paper to study the various rainfall characteristics of the lakes around Bombay so as to develop a climatology for the lake rainfall. The study covers fifty years data for the four lakes, viz., Tansa, Tulsi, Powai and Vehar and 22 years data for Vaitarna from 1956 for southwest monsoon period in comparison with Colaba. Many conclusions based on statistical studies have been arrived at by analysing monthly, seasonal, pentad and daily rainfall, normals. Analysis of the daily actual rainfall for lakes and Colaba has also been considered with a view to find out the percentage occasions of heavy rainfall over lakes.
