Abstract To estimate the climate change and to observe trends in precipitation, precipitation records for the period 1955-2006, were used to identify climatic trends and to determine to what extent these trends are potentially attributable to Global warming. Although recent changes in atmospheric variability are associated with broad precipitation climate change, the Mann-Kendall trend test was applied to examine seasonal and annual precipitation data. Significant positive and negative trends at the 90 and 95% significance levels were detected. Furthermore, like most of the Regional researches, significant trends in precipitation occur most commonly during autumn, where seven of the twelve stations exhibit significant increases ………………
