Climate change poses significant challenges to Afghanistan, a country highly vulnerable due to its geographical features and socio-economic conditions. The mountainous regions of Afghanistan, such as the Hindu Kush, play a critical role in the country's water resources, agriculture, and ecosystem services, making them a key area for studying climate impacts. This research investigates trends in major climate change parameters—temperature and precipitation—in Afghanistan's mountainous areas over recent decades. Using historical climate data, the study examines long-term trends in temperature rise and changes in variation in precipitation. This study examined maximum and minimum temperatures and precipitation trends of climate indices in the Daykundi province of Afghanistan from 1986 to 2019. We analyzed eight sites, and each station calculated minimum, maximum, and DTR temperature variability and precipitation trends, as well as positive and negative trends. The linear regression trend was utilized to find out notable trends. The findings of the study showed maximum and minimum temperatures were observed to have an upward trend significantly nationwide. The minimum temperature has been raised more than the maximum temperature, resulting in a remarkably decreased diurnal temperature range (DTR). Precipitation indices of climate change were detected by high fluctuation during 1986-2019. Positive precipitation trends happened in all study sites except for the Kajarn district. The mean annual precipitation had upward trends with an extensive range of scattering. During the study period, the Kajran district experienced a precipitation reduction of -0.48 mm per annum.
