Regulating the erratic weather on a large scale is beyond human control. It is possible to adapt to or mitigate the ill effects of weather through appropriate Agromet advisories (AAS). The AAS are issued twice in a week, along with weather forecast for next 5 days covering the entire Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka. Usability calculated for forecasts issued on rainfall, temperature and cloud cover from 2011 to 2016, ranged from 51 to 77 percent.
