The present study has further confirmed the inverse relationship between the intensity of the southern hemispheric equatorial trough, (SHET) arid the activity of the southern monsoon over India. Continuous monitoring of weekly mean cloudiness in the zone of SHET may, therefore, serve as an useful tool in foreshadowing wet spells of rainfall over India during the southwest monsoon.
