Abstract
Agrometeorology is the branch of meteorology that studies the effect of weather and climate on agriculture and various components of farming system. With the progress of industrialisation, technology development and rapid urbanisation in recent decades, exponential increases in greenhouse gas emissions have caused instability in atmospheric conditions such as rapid change in temperature, rainfall, other weather parameters and their distribution in space-time scales. It is becoming very challenging for agriculturalists to feed the ever increasing population with decreasing cultivable land area and pressure on natural resources like water. These challenges are substantially intensified when the actions required to address shifts in climate variability under future climate change projections are considered.
