Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze annual long-term and monthly trend average temperature of 26 stations in the northern part of Thailand using Mann-Kendall test in trend analysis. The results showed that the average temperature of most stations had a significant positive trend (15 stations). On a monthly average, the maximum positive trend was increased in January and February (12 stations), while the negative trend was seen in March (3 stations) and Phitsanulok Station had no tendency of increasing or decreasing on average temperature. This research indicates that the weather in the northern part of Thailand is warming up.
