Abstract
The world population in global south countries is increasing. This fast growth has heightened urban ecological footprint that contributes to anthropogenic forcing triggering of the climate system. From this study, climate variability trend dynamics in Mombasa County, a coastal urban area in Kenya was examined. A retrospective study was done (1989-2019) to determine the changes in temperature and rainfall in the area of study. The results show that climate variability was experienced in Mombasa with a maximum temperature t=-5.628, df=23, P:0.000 and a minimum of t= -5.401, df=23, P:0.000, total rainfall t=2.025, df=23, P:0.275. The linear regression analysis shows rainfall variation y = -9.588x + 1217.1 and temperature y =0.0258x + 29.888 with an increase of +0.4°C. The annual maximum temperature averages show heterogeneous distribution from kurtosis coefficient with little observed skewness.
