Hi Khairul

I don't think 30 years is really long enough to look at trends in a dataset. There seems to be a bit of a cool period towards the end of the dataset and that is probably skewing your calculation. Overall it might be better to look at a trend across the whole century or calculate the anomalies between the mean of that 30 year period and a 30 year baseline period (e.g. 1980-2010).

So overall I don't think you should be concerned but you should perhaps look at some different metrics for assessing the change in climate in your region.

Hopefully that makes sense and let me know if you have any further questions.

Laura
