Abstract

The forecasting of temperature on a seasonal time scales has been attempted by many researchers by different techniques at different time across the globe. It is a challenging task to forecast temperature on monthly and seasonal time scale. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model to long term temperature data of Dibrugarh, Assam, for the period of fifty (50) years (1966-2015). The analysis revels that the best seasonal models which are satisfactory to describe the data are SARIMA(2,1,1)(0,1,1)12 for monthly maximum and SARIMA(2,1,1)(0,1,1)12 for monthly minimum temperature data respectively.
