This study explores the spatiotemporal rainfall variability in the Northeast region of India combined with an analysis of the effects of temperature and natural climatic indices [El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO)] on rainfall. The multi-timescale features of rainfall time series for periods 1871-2016 were analysed based on the continuous wavelet transform method. Cross-wavelet and wavelet coherence explore cross-correlation between temperature, natural climatic indices, and rainfall during 1950-2016. Results of the continuous wavelet transform revealed a significant cycle of 12 months on a monthly scale and 2-8-year period on an annual and seasonal scale. The cross-wavelet and wavelet coherence results showed that temperature affects rainfall only on intra-annual (0.5-1 years) scale. ENSO affects rainfall on both intra-annual (0.5-1 years) and inter-annual (1-10 years) scale. PDO affects rainfall on both inter-annual ( 1-10 years) and decadal (10-21 years) scale. AMO affects rainfall only on the decadal (10-21 years) scale. The result that comes out from this study is useful for climate change assessment, agriculture, and water resources management points of view of the Northeast region of India.
