The meteorological branch of Indian Jyotisha, Vrishti Vijnana, describes various methods for the cognizance of predicting or forecasting rains, short spells or drizzles, heavy rains, rainstorms, hurricanes, and calamities. Food is the source of nourishment for human beings and the production or destruction of the crops harvested, which is the primary food source of humans, is completely dependent on rains. Rain is the primary source of life for all living beings on Earth. Rain is the only source of replenishing the water bodies and water is of utmost significance for the existence of the entire ecosystem of the Earth. Rainfall, floods and drought, etc., can be predicted by astrology. The ancient rishis and maharshi with their astronomical knowledge, experience and powers of clairvoyance and by using small tools and instruments (like bamboo tubes etc.), could predict the weather accurately, years in advance by studying the celestial planets and constellations, though they did not have either developed observatories like today, or scientific instruments that gave the most sophisticated results.
