trend in rainfall and temperature on annual, seasonal, and monthly bases, with the
following findings (Fig. 6.1).
1. Increasing trend of annual mean maximum temperature ranging from 0.01
C per
year to 0.06
C per year is observed in most of the states of India. In some states of
northern India, a decreasing trend (0.01
C–0.02
C per year) is noticed.
2. Annual mean minimum temperature has increased significantly (0.01
C–0.07
C
per year) in most of the states of the eastern coastal part, northeastern provinces,
and semiarid desert regions. A significant decreasing trend is noticed especially in
Fig. 6.1 State level trend of annual mean maximum temperature, annual mean minimum temperature, annual mean temperature, and annual rainfall (1951–2010). (Source: Rathore et al. 2013)
