This study examines the persistence and long-term correlation of monthly and seasonal precipitation time series of the Kırşehir province (Turkey) for the period of 1960-2019, with the widely used Hurst exponent (H) and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) methods. Both methods can be used to detect the long-term memory and correlation to be assessed as a reference of predictability. In order to support the study results, Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Mann-Kendall (MK) tests were applied to the time series under consideration. In some of the precipitation series, the evidence of persistence and long-term correlation was identified. According to the H exponent values, 10 out of 12 months, winter, and autumn seasons (with both simple R/S and corrected R/S methods), and spring and summer seasons (respectively with simple R/S and corrected R/S methods) exhibit long term correlations. On the other hand, according to the DFA scaling exponent values, 4 out of 12 months, winter and autumn seasons reveal long term correlations. When the H exponent and DFA scaling exponent values are compared only four monthly and two seasonal precipitation series are found to be consistent with each other.
