Precipitation Trend Analysis of Highland, India
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Highland regions often rely heavily on agriculture for livelihoods. Rainfall (including snowfall) trends can directly impact crop yields and agricultural productivity. Monitoring rainfall trends aid in assessing the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, habitat suitability, and ecosystem services. Highland regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Analyzing long-term rainfall trends provides valuable insights into climate change patterns and helps in formulating adaptation strategies to cope with changing environmental conditions. This study is based on the long-term rainfall analysis using a novel method called the 5-year lag method. The analysis has been carried out annually and the four seasons- January and February (winter/cold weather season), March, April, and May (Pre-monsoon/summer/hot weather/thunderstorm season), June, July, August and September (South-west monsoon/summer monsoon season), October, November and December (Post-monsoon/north-east monsoon/retreating south-west monsoon season).
