Abstract :In this study, long-term average temperature and precipitation data for Pakistan between the years 1991-2021 were evaluated. In addition, long-term average humidity, number of rainy days and sunshine durations between the years 1999-2019 were analyzed. For this purpose, climate data were evaluated with regression analysis and the relationship between monthly changes was tried to be revealed. As a result of the study, it was seen that the long-term average temperature in Pakistan was 20.3 oC ± 7.288; the average minimum temperature was 14.2 oC ± 7.404; the average maximum temperature was 26.7 oC ± 6.650. In addition, the long-term total precipitation average was 1377 mm ± 70.923; Humidity is calculated as 61% ± 11,057; the number of rainy days is 111 days ± 4.770 and the average sunshine duration is 9.8 hours ± 1,370. As a result of the research, Pakistan is negatively affected by global warming and climate change. According to research, Pakistan, which is highly vulnerable to weather conditions, is the 8th worst affected country in the world by climate change due to its impact on agriculture and livelihoods.
