It is shown that the surface dipolar magnetic field of a pulsar can vary on time-scales which are short compared to that for the longest living ohmically decaying mode. The braking index can then deviate significantly from the value n = 3 and vary with time. Simple numerical examples are given where n measures less than 3 for young pulsars in qualitative agreement with the observations of the Crab pulsar and PSR 1509 - 58.
