Climatic data over a period of 33 years (1981−2013) was processed to find out the annual trend and as well as variability of various metrological parameters. An increasing trend in maximum and minimum temperature, rain fall, rainy days, relative humidity; while decreasing trend in wind speed was observed over the years. There was increase in maximum temperature @ 0.03° C per year, and that in minimum temperature it was 0.06 C per year. Rainfall increased @ 23.7 mm per year with marginal increase in rainy days. Type IV Pearson's distribution was observed in case of rain fall and rainy days.
