The diurnal temperature range (DTR) is the difference between the daily maximum and minimum temperature. Changes in DTR have multiple possible causes (cloud cover, urban heat, land use change, aerosols, water vapor and greenhouse gases). Different regions are affected by different factors.he following figure from the above paper shows Trends (in degrees Celsius per 100 years) for each 5 by 5 latitude-longitude grid box using only nonurban stations for annual maximum temperature, annual minimum temperature, and diurnal temperature range for the period 1950 to 1993.
