Abstract

Temperature variability and trend have been a serious climatic challenge across the globe. Since temperature is one of the fundamental factor of climate change, its study and trend cannot be ignored to ascertain the degrees of climate change. Five years temperature data (2016-2020) of maximum and minimum temperature were collected from the Meteorological unit of the National Root Crop Research Institute (NRCRI) for this study and analysed using standard statistical procedures in minitab software, to elucidate the trend of maximum and minimum temperature. The annual average, monthly average and seasonal categories were deduced. The result obtained from maximum temperature gives a positive trend equation, ............................................
