abstract
This paper examines long-term climatic data over a 21-year period (2000-2020) for the Vindhyan zone in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The study focuses on seasonal and annual trends, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV). Weather data was collected from the Department of Agronomy at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The data series was analyzed using MS Excel and Mann-Kendall software. Temperature and rainfall trends were assessed through linear regression analysis. The highest mean temperatures recorded were 35.5 ℃ during the summer season, 30.6 ℃ during the southwest monsoon, 28.9 ℃ during the post-monsoon season, and 22.9 ℃ during the winter season. The highest mean annual temperature, 31.93 ℃, was observed in 2015. For the lowest mean temperatures, seasonal variations were noted as follows: 19.9 ℃ in summer, 25.0 ℃ during the southwest monsoon, 16.6 ℃ in post-monsoon, and 10.1 ℃ in winter. The lowest mean annual temperature, 16.3 ℃, was recorded in 2002 in the Vindhyan zone of Uttar Pradesh.
