J.R.Pazhaniswami, M.Rajamoorthy, P.Duraisamy

The response of the Indian regional average temperature to the variation of sunspot number during 102 years has been investigated. This involves  the correlation, regression and T test studies between the sunspot number and the average temperature for the six different regions of India during the   period 1901-2002.From the statistical analysis we have found the results that there is  significant connection between solar  activity and the surface temperature  of six different regions  of India. There is a strong connection between solar maximum of solar cycle and corresponding temperature of the cities.
