The objective of the study was to examine local-scale fluctuation in precipitation and temperature selected districts Sidama regional state. Specifically, it focuses on three districts—Hawassa Zuriya, Wonsho, Hula—using records obtained from Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) database which covers period 1981 2022. Various statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, well coefficient variation employed detect fluctuation. For trend detection, Mann-Kendall (MK) Sen's slope tests were also employed. Observations revealed that average yearly spatially varied 1331 mm Hula, followed by 1275 1013 at Hawassa Zuriya. Rainfall bimodal 53% rains Kiremt 33% Belg season respectively. Annual rainfall show relatively low variability (<20%) for Hula Wonsho districts, moderate (CV˃20%) Zuriya findings noticeable rising tendencies (p < 0.05) across all agroecosystems over years under consideration highest (0.038 °C/year), (0.031 (0.022 °C/year) respectively.Moreover, both exhibited spatial inter-annual variability. results this necessitate farmers systematic planning implementing location specific crop calendar context fluctuating climatic settings. Policy-makers development practitioners can utilize finding better devise execute plans adapting minimizing effects climate change.

Rising temperature and decreasing rainfall can have adverse effects on socioeconomic activities, particularly in agrarian communities. Climate change poses a significant challenge as extreme temperatures continue to increase patterns become more unpredictable. This study aimed analyze the spatiotemporal variations of climate indices Somali National Regional State Ethiopia. Forty year's data (1983–2022) were obtained from Ethiopian Meteorological Institute at four stations: Afder, Elkerre, Gode, Korahe stations. The researcher employed RClimDex R statistical software for quality control. Mann—Kendall (MK) Sen's slope test estimator used trend analysis magnitude per year, respectively. There was statistically (p < 0.05) rise TXx recorded Afder Elkerre. changes Elkerre seemed be comparable, increased by 0.06°C, while Gode displayed slightly similar with an 0.01°C. Both cold day (TX10p) night (TN10p) showed decrease warming trends. Warm (TN90P) index negative −0.06, −0.022, −0.022 Korahe, Our concluded that there is consistent precipitation across all stations impacts environment whole-ecosystems. Consequently, it becomes imperative develop robust adaptation strategy foster community resilience.

Climate Data tool (CDT) software version 8 used for rainfall- temperature-data analysis. results showed that north northeastern regions had significant increases in rainfall. However, it highly variable erratic, resulting extreme droughts floods. confirmed there were (p < 0.05) increasing trends number days heavy rainfall, very-heavy days, annual total wet-day (R10 mm, 20 PRCPTOT). highest daily minimum temperature, lowest maximum-temperature warm nights, cold nights all rising trends. extremes have resulted flooding warming area, respectively. These led destruction terraces, soil erosion, loss life damage properties, grasses, food insecurity, migration, biodiversity, commodification stones. continuous decline farmland productivity is affecting livelihood traditional ceremonies people, which are helpful transfer resource-management knowledge next generation. It therefore necessary implement local-scale climate change adaptation mitigation strategies order safeguard landscapes as worldwide asset bolster resilience smallholder farmers.
