CLIMATE CHANGE TRENDS IN NIGERIA: AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DATA FROM 1900-2020
climate change, temperature, precipitation, spartial variability, temperature extremes.
The impacts of climate change in Nigeria are severe and include flooding, drought, desertification, sea-level rise, and land degradation. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the historical data on temperature and precipitation extremes in Nigeria from 1900-2020. The study will focus on identifying the trends and patterns of temperature and precipitation extremes in Nigeria over the last century, as well as the spatial and temporal variability of these extremes. The analysis will provide valuable insights into the impacts of temperature and precipitation extremes on various sectors of the Nigerian economy, and the implications of these impacts for policy makers, stakeholders, and the general public. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the variations of extreme temperature and precipitation over time and across different months. The findings suggest that there are significant differences in these climatic conditions over the decades and across the months. Additionally, there is a significant interaction effect between the two factors. These results highlight the importance of considering both the time frame and specific months when analyzing and interpreting climatic data. Based on these findings, this study recommends further research to investigate the underlying factors driving the observed variations in maximum temperature and precipitation. Finally, it is essential to continue monitoring and analyzing climatic data to better understand the impacts of climate change on our environment and to develop effective strategies for adapting to these changes.
