Abstract: The analytical hierarchical process is a prioritising algorithm used in the field of multi-criteria decision-making system. AHP has a special capability to handle intangible criteria, this exclusive nature strengthened its popularity. In this work, AHP is exercised to prioritise parameters that contribute to precipitation. Precipitation is any form of water that reaches the earth surface from the atmosphere such as rain, dew, snow, etc. Recent research consider precipitation as one of the crucial phenomena of climate change and lots of modelling techniques are proposed to predict precipitation using varied parameters. The significance of the study is to address minor fallout of AHP in rank reversal and uncertainty in ranking the given parameters, by attempting to prioritise six basic climatic parameters such as maximum temperature, wind velocity, relative humidity, solar radiation and elevation, which are considered to contribute precipitation.
