The long&amp;ndash;term change in temperature and rainfall has been assessed by linear trend analysis. The increasing trend in mean&amp;nbsp; maximum temperature (MMAX) &amp;nbsp;and total mean rainfall (TMRF) is confirmed by Mann-Kendall trend test. It is observed that in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh region, the December MMAX temperature has increased by 1.1008 &lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;C and annual MMAX temperature has increased by 0.0256 &lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;C whereas the highest decrease in TMRF occurs is observed in August @ 1.4385 mm per year (data base 1971-2013) and annual TMRF quantity has increased by 8.084 mm during the same period. Annual MMAX temperature has shown increasing trend which is statistically non- significant at 5% level of significance whereas annual TMRF has shown increasing trend which is statistically non- significant at 5% level of significance.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Rainfall Trend</kwd><kwd> TMRF</kwd><kwd> Meteorological Data</kwd></kwd-group><counts><ref-count count='' /><page-count count='' /></counts></article-meta></front></article>
