Methods used in this study were Polygon Thiessen to find out the rainfall patterns in Temanggung District, and Probability Density Function to find out the conditions of rainfall change in each sub-district. Furthermore, the relationship between rainfall anomaly and temperature with tobacco productivity was analyzed using linear regression and t-test methods. The rainfall influence showed a negative correlation with tobacco productivity with coeffiicients of correlation and determination of r = -0.38 and R2 = 0.14, respectively, while the average temperature and maximum monthly temperature had a negative and significant effect on tobacco productivity.
