  • Patterns of Climate Change and Its Impacts in Northwestern Bangladesh
    Journal of Engineering Science 10(2), 2019, 33-48 JES an international Journal PATTERNS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS IN NORTHWESTERN BANGLADESH Samarendra Karmakar Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS), Dhaka, Bangladesh Received: 17 September 2019 Accepted: 27 October 2019 ABSTRACT Climatological data on different parameters like daily temperature, rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity and pre-monsoon daily thunderstorm frequency over Rajshahi, Rangpur and Dinajpur for the period 1981-2016 have been used to study their temporal variations on monthly, seasonal and annual basis. Rainfall data is also used to compute the non-rainy days (dry days), and the relative humidity is used to compute heat stress over the places under study. The trends of dry days and heat stress are studied. Daily maximum and minimum temperatures are used to find out the frequencies of temperature >36C and temperature <10C for studying trends of heat waves and cold waves over the region. The temporal variations of all the parameters have increasing trends except for some parameters which have increasing trends from 2000. The study has revealed that the annual mean temperature has increasing trends in Rajshahi and Rangpur with increasing rates of +0.012 and +0.017C/year respectively during 1981-2016. It has decreasing trend in Dinajpur at -0.017C/ year during 1981-2016. But annual mean temperature at Dinajpur has increasing trend at a rate of +0.014C/year from 1990. Annual rainfall has decreasing trends at all stations under study. The rates of decreasing of annual rainfall are -8.946, -14.170 and -11.030 mm/year in Rajshahi, Rangpur and Dinajpur respectively.
