Abstract: For the benefit of farming community during various crop stages, district-wise Medium range weather forecast for the subsequent 5 days is disseminated to the DAMU (District Agromet advisory unit) and KVK (Krishi Vigyaan Kendra) every Tuesday and Friday for all the districts of Vidarbha by Regional Meteorological Centre, Nagpur. In this study, the verification of medium range weather forecasts (both GFS-T1534 model and value added) for districts of Vidarbha for the four seasons during the period 2021-2022 (SW Monsoon season 2021 to pre-monsoon season 2022) are discussed for temperature and rainfall. Rainfall forecast for almost all the districts revealed higher accuracy during post-monsoon to pre-monsoon and little less accuracy during the SW Monsoon season. However, the accuracy of value-added forecasts was higher than those of the model forecasts in all the seasons. The maximum and minimum temperature forecasts revealed higher accuracy during all the seasons for most of the districts for value added forecasts as compared to the model forecasts.
