Abstract EN
The rising temperatures are the most significant aspect in the period of climate variability.
In this study PRECIS model data and observed data are used for assessing the temperature change scenarios of Sindh province during the first half of the present century.
Observed data from various meteorological stations of Sindh are the primary source for temperature change detection.
The current scenario (1961–1990) and future one (2010-2050) are acted by the PRECIS Regional Climate Model at a spatial resolution of 25 * 25 km.
Regional Climate Model (RCM) can yield reasonably suitable projections to be used in the climate - scenario.
The main objective of the study is to prepare maps.
The simulated temperature as obtained from climate model-PRECIS and their comparison with observed temperatures.
The analysis is done on all the districts of Sindh in order to have a more precise picture of temperature change scenarios.
According to the results the temperature is likely to increase by 1.5 - 2.1°C by 2050, compared to the baseline temperature of 1961-1990.
The model assesses more accurate values in northern districts of Sindh as compared to the coastal belt of Sindh.
All the district of the Sindh province exhibits an increasing trend in the mean temperature scenarios and each decade is seemed to be warmer than the previous one.
An understanding of the change in temperatures is very vital for various sectors such as weather forecasting, water, agriculture and health etc.
