This study documented stakeholders’ perception on the changing rainfall pattern in southeast Nigeria. The paper collected data from many stakeholders across Nigeria. Stakeholders’ view about changing rainfall pattern using the December 2013 event was presented. Most of the stakeholders attributed the increasing number of rainy days in December 2013 to climate change. The stakeholders also believed that this new rainfall pattern will impact on different economic sectors and activities. Various adaptation strategies were recommended as the way to manage the risks that may accompany the recent rainfall pattern.
