Abstract

Present paper examines the temperature and rainfall profile of Rajasthan. This largest Indian state is known for extreme temperatures, water scarcity, scanty rains and frequent droughts. It is feared that any significant change in temperature and rainfall properties of the state can aggravate its climatic harshness, and thus, can adversely impact the physical, as well as economic land scapes. The analysis reveals that most of the districts in the state have witnessed a significant warming during last century. The districts of Sikar and Dausa, on the other hand, have recorded a cooling trend. Interestingly, the warming is more prominent in the western part of the state as compared to its eastern part. As for as rainfall is concerned, it has recorded an increase for most of districts, however, the districts lying near Tropic of Cancer have become drier.
