An environmental temperature change prediction device includes an environmental temperature acquisition unit, an outside temperature acquisition unit, a plant environment pattern setting unit, a prediction model generating unit, and an environmental temperature change prediction unit. The environmental temperature acquisition unit measures a machine body temperature. The plant environment pattern setting unit defines in advance a classification rule for classifying change trends of the environmental temperature into a plurality of patterns based on data of the environmental temperature and the plant outside temperature and environmental temperature prediction models. The prediction model generating unit selects the applicable plant environment pattern and determines a parameter of the environmental temperature prediction model corresponding to the selected plant environment pattern. The environmental temperature change prediction unit predicts a change in the environmental temperature in a future by the environmental temperature prediction model generated in the prediction model generating unit.
