摘要

Climate change is one of the holistic phenomena experienced by human beings since recent decades. Keeping the view of several other hydrometerological factors, this paper emphasizes the application of geographic information systems to represent temperature variations observed over parts of Andhra Pradesh, India. Spatio-temporal representation of thermal variations was presented using cluster and outlier analysis over GIS platform. For this purpose hot spot analysis was conducted for 1951 to 1990. This part of the work aims at filtering lower risk areas to higher risk areas in order to facilitate the policy makers to maintain certain mitigation measures.Keywords: Hot spot analysis, GIS, climate change, spatio-temporal analysis, temperature
