Abstract: The climatic variability for an area is refers to the long-term change in rainfall, temperature, humidity, evaporation, wind speed and other meteorological parameters. Trend analysis is carried out to understand pattern or structure of the climatic variability. Without studying the trends, adoption of farming system to an area might be unsuccessful with the future climatic conditions. For the present study, the annual rainfall, annual maximum temperature and the annual minimum temperature of Bidar district for the year 1901 to 2015 was considered to examine the trend in the rainfall, maximum temperature and minimum temperature. The data is collected form IMD, India. The summary statistics and regression analysis revealed no significant trend in rainfall and temperature. In Regression analysis of rainfall data linear, exponential, growth and logistic functions (5 % level of significance) were found to be the best fit and in case of maximum and minimum temperature, cubic function (5 % level of significance) found to be the best fit.
