Abstract
- The article discusses about the predictability of rainfall in Sri Lanka based on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation movements (ENSO). According to the article, the rainfall is predictable based on ENSO during the period of January-March, July-August and October-December. It was said that the El Niño brings wetter conditions on the months of October to December and drier conditions during the months of January-March. July to August are considered average. However, predictability in the mountainous region is decreased when orographic rainfall happens.
