Based on climatological data of maximum and minimum temperatures of seventeen stations for a period of 60 years (1949 - 2008), obtained from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), the changing pattern of temperature in Bangladesh has been investigated. Some characteristics of annual variation and spatial distribution of mean monthly minimum, mean monthly maximum and mean monthly temperature, annual variation and spatial distribution of mean monthly amplitude of temperature have been explained. The characteristics of changing pattern of temperature such as standard deviation, coefficient of variation, ratio between mean monthly maximum and mean monthly minimum temperatures have been studied. The run of the temperature in different stations for the years 1949-2008, the periodicity of mean annual temperature and mean decade deviations have been discussed. The integral curve of mean annual temperature for Dhaka has been prepared and explained. Regression analysis for mean monthly temperature of January, April, July and October for the stations Sylhet, Chittagong, Khulna and Rangpur with Dhaka have been analyzed. Some linear correlation equations have been deduced. In the investigation, attempts (as far as possible) have been made to explain the synoptic cause of the changing pattern of temperature in Bangladesh.
