Although a few studies on rainfall spatial and temporal variability in the UAE have been carried out, evidence of the impact of climate change on rainfall trends has not been reported.
This study aims at assessing the significance of long-term rainfall trends and temporal variability at Sharjah City, UAE.
Annual rainfall and seasonal rainfall extending over a period of 81 years (1934–2014) recorded at Sharjah International Airport have been analyzed.
To this end, several parametric and nonparametric statistical measures have been applied following systematic data quality assessment.
The analyses revealed that the annual rainfall trend decreased from −3 mm to −9.4 mm per decade over the study periods.
The decreasing annual rainfall trend is mainly driven by the significant drop in winter rainfall, particularly during the period from 1977 to 2014.
The results also indicate that high probability extreme events have shifted toward low frequency (12.7 years) with significant variations in monthly rainfall patterns and periodicity.
The findings of the present study suggest reevaluating the derivation of design rainfall for infrastructure of Sharjah City and urge developing an integrated framework for its water resources planning and risk under climate change impacts scenarios.
