Analysis of rainfall and temperature trend and variability of the Tordzie Watershed

Climate change is universally occurring but probable fluctuations are not anticipated to be uniform worldwide; rather, there may local differences. Thus, a need investigate the variations at and watershed levels comprehend magnitude of change. This study was conducted determine trend rainfall assess its dependability. In this study, mean monthly annual analysed variability in over period 1984-2014 different stations. The non-parametric detector, Mann-Kendall test (MK) Sen’s Slope (SS) were used reveal temperature, respectively. largest increasing slope significant precipitation occurred November with 1.68 mm/y Tordzinu. October recorded most reliable Kpetoe CV 0.3. highest maximum May, 2005 Tordzinu 522.2mm for under review. minimum temperature increased by 0.20C 0.80C respectively also 0.50C per decade
