Rate of Temperature Change in Bengkulu City in View of Rainfall Intensity Occurring in 6 Years (2018-2023)

Introduction

Rate of temperature change in bengkulu city in view of rainfall intensity occurring in 6 years (2018-2023). Quantitative study on temperature changes in Bengkulu City (2018-2023) and rainfall intensity. Explores how wind, air pressure, and topography also influence local air temperatures.

Abstract

Sumatra Island is an area with high rainfall throughout the year, Bengkulu City which is located in the coastal area causes the air to be relatively hot with air temperatures throughout the year relatively the same, air temperature is influenced by the topography of an area. Indication of changes in rainfall intensity can be done by analyzing rainfall calculation time data and temperature degrees that can provide factor information and causes of temperature changes. The research method used is quantitative research. The data used are monthly rainfall data and monthly average air temperature within a period of 6 years, in the period from 2018 to 2023 data sources from the Class I Climatology Station of Baai Island Bengkulu. The level of temperature change that occurs in Bengkulu City is not influenced by rainfall alone, but is also influenced by factors such as wind patterns, air pressure, climate, regional topography and sea level heat rise in Bengkulu City.

Review

This manuscript aims to investigate the rate of temperature change in Bengkulu City over a six-year period (2018-2023), specifically examining its relationship with rainfall intensity. The chosen geographical context, Bengkulu City on Sumatra Island, a coastal area known for high year-round rainfall, provides a relevant setting for this study given the intricate interplay between atmospheric conditions and regional climate. The stated objective to analyze rainfall calculation time data and temperature degrees to understand factors contributing to temperature changes is pertinent for local climate understanding and potential implications. The research employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing monthly rainfall data and monthly average air temperature collected from the Class I Climatology Station of Baai Island Bengkulu for the specified period. While the title focuses squarely on rainfall intensity as a primary lens, the abstract broadens the scope considerably by concluding that temperature change in Bengkulu City is "not influenced by rainfall alone," but also by a multitude of other factors, including wind patterns, air pressure, climate, regional topography, and sea level heat rise. This immediate acknowledgment of numerous covariates is an important early finding or a critical limitation. While the abstract clearly outlines the data and general approach, the concluding statement regarding the multiple influences on temperature change suggests that the study might either have extensively analyzed these other factors, or it is prematurely identifying them without explicit analytical support within the scope implied by the title. For a paper titled to view temperature change "in view of Rainfall Intensity," the explicit mention that rainfall is not the sole driver, without detailing how these other factors were integrated into the analysis or controlled for, warrants further clarification. Future iterations or the full manuscript should articulate how these additional variables are either accounted for in the methodology or discussed as acknowledged limitations to the focus on rainfall, strengthening the clarity of the study's specific contribution regarding the rainfall-temperature dynamic.
