Climate change plays a vital role because it has a significant impact on all living creatures on earth. Analysing the trajectory of the climate is critical in determining the pattern of changes since it provides an initial perspective for future forecasts. In this study, a trend analysis was carried out to identify the pattern of changes for four weather parameters such as yearly precipitation (mm), yearly maximum temperature (°C), yearly average humidity (%) and yearly radiation (MJ/m) from 1992 to 2022. A comparative study was carried out in three different locations in Malaysia (Sintok, Gunung Brinchang and Chuping). The data of 30 years of climatology was extracted from NASA Power. As a result of this analysis, the precipitation trend is influenced by the maximum temperature in these locations and maximum temperature showed an upward trend for every 10 years. Opposingly, the humidity in Gunung Brinchang showed insignificant changes although the humidity is increasing both in Sintok and Chuping. The radiation showed no trend all in three locations.
