Table 3. District wise anomaly, showing the change in values of climate variables between 2000–2014 (Base period 1951–2000).

DJF seasonal anomaly value for 2000–2014 is based on period 1952–2014 because December month is from the year 1951 and January and February are from 1952. Altitude wise change in values of climate variables between 2000–2014 is based on the base period 1951–2000.
