| dc.description.abstract | Climatic variability, particularly, that of the precipitation, minimum temperature and maximum temperature has received a great deal of attention worldwide. The present study is carried out to determine the climatic conditions that are annually, monthly and seasonally variable to weather parameters in the Capital of Himachal Pradesh (Shimla) and nearby districts based on the data collected from Indian water portal website www.indianwaterportal.org. Three weather parameters were studied viz. precipitation, minimum temperature and maximum temperature. For the study of the three climatic parameters which showed linear trend annually, monthly and seasonally and different measures of statistics viz. mean, median, variance, skewness, standard error, range, minimum, maximum values and confidence interval for median etc. were calculated by Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS software. A comparative study was made among the three climatic parameters for 102 years (1901-2002) by fitting a trend line by method of least squares to obtained best fitted straight line trend. The normality of climatic parameters were also studied by calculating the skewness and kurtosis which showed that the climatic parameters were skewed that is _1_ 0, _2_3 which showed a nonnormal distribution. Then studied the best fit distributions by using Easy Fit software. The graphs of precipitation showed a decreasing trends while minimum and maximum temperature showed an increasing and decreasing trend annually, monthly and seasonally in Capital of Himachal Pradesh (Shimla) and nearby districts. | en_US |
