Overview

Analysis of temporal dynamics of climatic parameters is indispensable for advancing the “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-11 and 13”. This study aims to assess the trend of temperature and rainfall in Kolkata District using CRU (Climate Research Unit) data from 1901 to 2019. Statistical methods such as anomaly index, CV (“coefficient of variation”), and PCI (“Precipitation Concentration Index”) were employed along with ITA (Innovative trend analysis) techniques, Mann-Kendall test, and Spearman’s Rho tools. These measures are widely used in climate and environmental research to recognize the trend of climate change. The Mann-Kendall and Spearman’s Rho tools both reveal that the seasonal (summer and winter) and yearly temperatures are rising significantly (P
