The impact of urbanization on climate with focus on minimum and maximum temperatures was examined for Ilorin city. The study period spanned through 1976-2005. Correlation and regression statistics were employed to investigate relationship and trend was also identified using ten years moving average. The result of the analyses show maximum temperature having a strong positive relationship significant at 0.01 confidence level while mild positive relationship occurred between minimum temperature and population growth. Population growth account for 67.5% and 74% variability observed in minimum and maximum temperature and the trends show a general rise in all the variables.
