Abstract

The trend analysis of the different weather parameters had been assessed for the Tarai region of Uttarakhand namely, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours and evaporation by using non-parametric test i.e., Mann-Kendall test together with Sen’s slope estimator for assessing actual change in the magnitude which has already occurred and this will further help in future predictions. The present study focuses on detecting the trend in different weather parameters from 1981-2021 on an annual and seasonal basis and comparison being made with the last 5 years trend i.e., from 2017-21.
