Five Decadal Trends in Averages and Extremes of Rainfall and Temperature in Sri Lanka by G. Naveendrakumar, Meththika Vithanage, Hyun-Han Kwon, M. C. M. Iqbal, S. Pathmarajah, Jayantha Obeysekera

“…The results show that, during May, 15% of the stations showed a significant decrease in wet days, which may be due to the delayed southwest monsoon (SWM) to Sri Lanka. A remarkable increase in the annual average temperature of Tmin and Tmax was observed as 70% and 55% of the stations, respectively. …”

Recent changes in ENSO’s impacts on the summertime circumglobal teleconnection and mid-latitude extremes by Shankai Tang, Shaobo Qiao, Bin Wang, Fei Liu, Xian Zhu, Taichen Feng, Guolin Feng, Wenjie Dong

“…Before the late 1970s, ENSO indirectly promoted CGT by modulating the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR). Since 1980s, the ENSO–ISMR link has weakened, but the westward-displaced ENSO forcing has been able to directly trigger a Rossby wave response at the exit of the East Asian westerly jet, resulting in a shift of the previous CGT’s North Pacific and downstream centers westward along the westerly jet waveguide. …”
