Abstract
This paper investigates climate change, with a specific focus on temperature variations in Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan.
The summer temperatures in the Kurume region have shown a significant increase, progressively warming in recent years. To substantiate this observation, we conducted numerical analyses using climate data sourced from the Japan Meteorological Agency website.
Firstly, we provide a brief overview of the geographical characteristics of the Kurume region and outline our analytical methods. Secondly, we apply our proposed statistical analysis to the relevant temperature datasets. Lastly, we present our findings and provide concluding remarks on the observed trends.
