After the tsunami that occurred on 26 December 2004, the accumulated rainfall had a notably increase (600mm per month) in January of 2005 over deep waters to the southeast of Sri Lanka. This rainfall increase after the tsunami was accompanied with cooling in the sea surface temperature (SST) (up to −2°C). Four-day averaged SST anomalies had a noticeable increase (1-4°C) after the tsunami over the deep waters to the southwest of the epicenter. Series of ocean atmospheric and biological variables changed successively after the change of SST. The chain of causality between the tsunami and the changes in the local atmospheric conditions is suggested.
