The relationship between sunshine over Bombay and the factors (i) cloudiness, (ii) rainfall and (iii) rainy days has been examined for the rainy months, May to November. All the C.Cs. are negative. For cloud the magnitude is 0. 8 to0. 9. The C. Cs. are rather low for rainfall in the most intense monsoon months of Chicago July and August and statistically insignificant. With rainy days the C.C. is generally improved but July continues to be low. Sunshine in any month is not significantly correlated with the other months.
