Updated information on trends of climate extremes is central in the assessment of climate change impacts. This work examines the trends in mean, diurnal temperature range (DTR), maximum and minimum temperatures, 1951–2012 and the recent (1981–2010) extreme temperature events over Kenya. The study ut...
