Abstract

This paper analyses the trend over time of the main climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) in the 9 capital cities of Castilla y León for the period 1961-2006. The homogeneous distribution of the climatic stations throughout the territory has allowed our statistical findings to be representative of data for the whole region. Results showed that the mean annual temperatures have significantly increased, especially since 1973, with a ratio of 0,043°C per year. This was principally due to the behaviour of the maximum temperatures. March and June were the months most sensitive to these changes. In most cases the precipitation series showed a negative trend, although this was not statistically significant. The greatest decrease in precipitation was observed in February.
