Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the variation in climatic parameters and possible climate effects in the Hyderabad region. The least-square regression method was used to find a linear change in climatic parameters (Temperature and Precipitation). The maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures; annual, and monsoon precipitations were considered under the study. In the last 100 years, the global temperature has been increased by 0.6 or 0.74 0C. In Hyderabad city, we predicted that the minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax), and mean temperature (Tmean) are varied in the range of 0.00490C/year to -0.01330C/year. The variability in the precipitation was observed in the last 30 years. Yearly and monsoon precipitation was decreasing with the rate of 1.24mm/year, and 1.34mm/year. The maximum precipitation occurs in July, August, and September; in the rest of the months, no or little precipitation occurred which may lead to a shortage of fresh water.
