The main aim of the project was to use the global climate data and analyse the change particularly in temperature and precipitation over a year. The maps were created using global average temperature (Celcius) 30 seconds resolution and global precipitation (mm) 30 seconds resolution from world climate data website. The temporal ranges were manipulated to arrive at various map representations . All the maps were created in QGIS software.
