The sentences
Differing from the trend of minimum temperature, the maximum temperature showed a negative trend as the computed p-value (< 0.0001) of the Mann–Kendall test is lower than the significance level alpha (0.05).
The minimum temperatures recorded a positive trend in Gangtok (0.036 ̊C year− 1 from 1961 to 2017) as well as in Tadong (0.065 ̊C year− 1 from 1981 to 2010) stations, while the maximum temperatures showed no trend in Tadong station from 1981 to 2010 which is consistent with the trend in Gangtok station for the overlapped period.
