Description
Byline: Maida Zahida and Ghulam Rasula ABSTRACT: The frequency of extreme temperature (maximum and minimum) and precipitation events have been analyzed from 1965-2009 for Pakistan located with in South Asia. The real time long-term data spread over 45 years for temperature (maximum and minimum) and precipitation has been used to calculate the frequency of extreme temperature and precipitation events in Pakistan. The thresholds for all the regions have been defined on the basis of percentile to investigate maximum, minimum temperature and precipitation extremes. The statistical significance of temperature extreme events has been evaluated through F-Test and for precipitation extreme events K-S Test has been applied at 95% confidence interval. The extreme temperature (maximum and minimum) events analysis showed that the frequency of extreme maximum temperature events is increasing throughout the country.
