Abstract

The need for an objective classification of the thermal regions of Sri Lanka is emphasised. A brief account of the thermal climate of Sri Lanka is given. Regionalization based on thermal factors has been attempted quantitatively using factor, cluster and discriminant analysis. Three groups of cluster have been selected and mapped. The results are interpreted and related to the known thermal patterns of Sri Lanka.
