Abstract

Understanding climate variability and monitoring time-series trends of temperature and rainfall is crucial for the sustainable development of our planet. This study utilized historical data from the Global Historical Climatology Network-Monthly (GHCN-M) provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) to analyze the temperature and rainfall data from 2015 to 2022. The analysis was conducted using Python 3.1.1 on Anaconda Jupyter Notebook and the package matplotlib 3.2.1 was used for data visualization. The results revealed a pattern of maximum rainfall between March to May for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, while for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019, the maximum rainfall was recorded in October, December, and November. Additionally, the annual maximum rainfalls were recorded in the years 2020 and 2022, and the annual maximum temperatures for all study years were recorded in January, February, and March months. On the other hand, the annual minimum temperatures for all study years occurred in June, July, August, and September months. Similarly, annual average temperatures were recorded in January, February, and March months. This study emphasizes the importance of monitoring climate change and its impacts on our planet. By understanding climate variability and time-series trends, we can better prepare for the future and work towards a sustainable world.
