dc.description.abstractThis thesis has investigated changes in the frequency of extreme cold and hot tails in the probability distributions (percentile indices) of minimum and maximum temperature events over the Western Cape and Eastern Cape for the period 1960-2005. The focus was to determine whether the changes in hot and cold tails (extreme tails) showed any trends or variability. The data used in this thesis are from 12 high quality observing weather stations over the two regions.en_ZA
