An examination of observational records of global and diffuse solar radiation during summer from 1964 to 1972 at all stations has been made. The results indicate that year-to-year variations of the mean daily radiation received at the surface is small. Further, these variations are not linked to the variations of sub-divisional rainfall during the subsequent monsoon season. Similar results have been obtained from an analysis of sub-divisional mean summer temperatures and monsoon rainfall over the period 1936 to 1965.
