Abstract
The climatic change is one of the serious concerns nowadays. The impacts of
climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Moreover, a
small perturbation in climatic changes affects not only the pristine ecosystem
but also the socioeconomic sectors. Specifically, the affect of climatic
changes is related to frequent casualties. This makes it essential to dwelve
deeper into analyzing the socio-climatic trends and variability. This work
provides a comprehensive analysis of India's climatic trends, emphasizing on
regional variations and specifically delving into the unique climate of Delhi.
Specifically, this research unveils the temporal and spatial variations in
temperature patterns by amalgamating extensive datasets encompassing India's
diverse landscapes. The study uses advanced statistical tools and methodologies
to scrutinize temperature's annual and seasonal variability. The insights drawn
from this rigorous analysis may offer invaluable contributions to regional
planning strategies, adaptive measures, and informed decision-making amidst the
complex impacts of climate change. By bridging the gap between broader climatic
trends and localized impacts, this research aims to facilitate more effective
measures to mitigate and adapt to the multifaceted challenges of climate
change, ensuring a more nuanced and tailored approaches. We utilized the
Mann-Kendall test and Theil-Sen's slope estimator to analyze the trends and
variability of the climatic conditions over the decades. The results
demonstrate that temperature variations have increased over 0.58oC on average
over the last decade. Moreover, over last decade the variability of Indian
states shows that Lakshadweep faced the highest change (0.87oC), highlighting
coastal vulnerability, while Tripura observed the least change of 0.07oC.
