| Abstract | Climate change has become a most importance issue in every field. This study performs the trend analysis of Historical and Future Precipitation and Temperature variables in Moe Yun Gyi Wetlands, Myanmar. We used daily data of two stations, Bago and Zaungtu for this study. The Historical trend analysis was done by Rc1imdex indices calculation and Mann-Kendall test followed by the Sen's slope method was used to check the existence of the trend in the time series. Overall Mann-Kendall test represents that Zaungtu station with monthly maximum value of daily minimum temperature (TNx) and Annual count of days when PRCPl.,=20 (R20) have trend series. Other part of this study presents the future projection using bias corrected data using RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. Precipitation projection for Bago and Zaungtu shows that average monthly changes in rainfall keep rising till 2065 and again decrease after 2065-2095. Simi- larly from temperature projection, we can wrap up that the mean temperature is projected to rise throughout the year. |
