Global warming is a phenomenon with worldwide impacts and consequences. IPCC and
various other internationally reputable organisations have provided evidence in support
of warming temperature trends(IPCC 5th assessment report;IPCC 2014:47;NOAA
Global climate change indicators,NASA GISTEMPv4)). However, most research on
temperature changes are based on large scale measurements of countries,continents
and global variations. The present research investigates the trend in temperatures in a
single city: Jaipur(26° 55' N 75° 52' E) by analysing temperature variation within a single
month (July) as well as the variation in pattern of temperature in July over a period of
eleven years using first hand measurements as well as database averages. The
findings of this study would help contextualize the variations of temperature within a city
to changes of global temperature trend to answer the question: Is July temperature in
Jaipur warmer than the average? The results demonstrate a cooling trend in July
temperature over the period of eleven years and a cooling pattern of July temperature in
2021. Our work suggests that variation in temperature over a short time period is not
definite and without a predictable pattern and the cooling temperature trend calls for
further research to assess the implications of anthropogenic aerosols on Indian
monsoon and other possible explanations of the observed trends in temperature.
