Climatic Classification of Indian Districts

The rainy season is coming to an end in India And the recent issue of Current Science has come out
with a new classification of districts on the basis of the climatic data between 1975 to 2005.

The earlier classification used data prior to 1970 and does not consider the possible changes in climate.
Moreover, the data sets relating to rainfall and evapo-respiration have also been becoming more precise in the recent years.

The paper claims that this new classification is more useful in agricultural planning at district levels.
