Changing Type of Climate in Amarapura District (1983-2023) Ei Phyu Htwe Moe Myat Thu "Amarapura District is situated in the Dry Zone of Central Myanmar. The climate of an area is defined as the long-term change in rainfall, temperature, wind, humidity and other climatic variables. Among these climatic variables, rainfall and temperature are the most important because they are essential for the efficient management of water resources. In this research, Koppen’s Climatic Classification Method, statistical method, fifteen years running mean, and fluctuation and trend line methods are mainly used to analyze the type of climate, to realize the yearly increase or decrease in temperatures and rainfalls. Based on the climatic data of the Meteorology and Hydrology Department, Mandalay (from 1983 to 2023), the mean maximum, mean and mean minimum temperatures of Amarapura District were 85.6°F, 72.5°F and 59.0°F, respectively. The range of temperature is 17.7°F. According to results, the maximum temperature decreases -0.1°F in average but the mean and minimum temperature increased 0.2°F and 0.4°F from 1983 to 2023 (41 years Records), the average annual precipitation of the Amarapura was 34.2 inches. The results show that the annual total precipitation increased at 0.3 inch per year within 41 years Records). Depending upon the mean temperature and total annual rainfall data during the 1983-2023 periods, Amarapura District enjoyed with “Tropical SavannaType of Climate” or “Aw” using Koppen’s Climatic Classification System.
