Abstract

A search has been made for relationship between surface temperatures and solar activity as represented by sunspot number from monthly temperature data of several stations in India over a period of 67 years or more. Elimination of undesired periods from the series of temperatures followed by computation of autocorrelation function and autospectrums reveals that at stations in the interior Peninsula the temperature have a tendency to exhibit variations with a period of about 130 months close to one solar activity cycle. It is significant that the long-period oscillation in temperatures is confined to the same region in which the present authors have shown a significant 27-day variation in the temperatures.
