Abstract

Daily maximum temperature data. of Madras for the months April, May and June for the period 1945.1964 have been analysed. The frequency of spells of days having the same type of maximum temperature tendencies appear to follow a random probability model sc =Kpx, K and p being the parameters determinable from the data. sx representing the frequencies of spells of x days duration. It is also shown that low level wind field over Madras and Anantapur at OOZ can be utilised in predicting the day's maximum temperature. Maximum temperature forecast diagrams for May the hottest mouth, have been constructed on the basis of graphical integration method; and utility of these diagrams discussed.
