Abstract
Abstract
We provide the first statistical analysis of maximum temperature in Senegal. The data are from twelve stations spread across Senegal. The generalized extreme value distribution was fitted to maximum temperature by the method of maximum likelihood. Probability and quantile plots showed that the generalized extreme value distribution provided an adequate fit for all stations. The vast majority of stations did not exhibit significant trends in temperature. Three of the stations exhibited positive trends in temperature. Estimates of return levels are given.
