ABSTRACT:In the past few decades, many studies showed a significant worldwide warming, and consequently, changes in frequency and persistence of extreme high-temperature events were observed. In order to analyse summer Tuscany (Italy) patterns of climate change during the period 1955-2004, indices of temperature and of extreme events were investigated for evidence of trend and change in inter-annual variability by using data of 40 weather stations. Least square regression analysis and Theil-Sen nonparametric regression were applied for evidence of trends. The Mann-Kendall test was applied to each time series to look for statistically significant trends.The results showed a general increase in minimum and maximum temperatures and extreme temperature events. Maximum temperature increase (+0.44°C/decade) was slightly greater than minimum temperature (+0.38°C/decade) and consequently, an increase in summer daily temperature range (DTR) was noted (+0.06°C/decade).Inter-annual summer climate variability showed an increasing trend in the whole region, especially in regard to extreme event occurrences while a small decreasing trend concerning diurnal temperature range was observed.

“…The extreme high temperatures experienced in Athens during the summer of 2007 (Tolika et al, 2009), for example, were associated with wide-spread peri-urban wildfires as well as deaths and other human health impacts. Earlier global and European studies indicate that extreme temCorrespondence to: C. M. Goodess (c.goodess@uea.ac.uk) perature events of daily/multi-daily scales in the Mediterranean have undergone changes in the course of the 20th century whose overall long-term trends are in accordance with the global picture of trends: cold extremes are reduced and warm/hot extremes are increased (Frich et al, 2002;Yan et al, 2002;Klein Tank and Können, 2003;Moberg and Jones, 2005;Alexander et al, 2006;Moberg et al, 2006). However, previous studies have shown differences in mean temperature changes within the basin, i.e., between its northern/southern and western/eastern parts (Xoplaki et al, 2003b), and the magnitude of the extreme temperature changes has also been shown to vary seasonally and regionally.…”

Abstract. Two recently-available daily gridded datasets are used to investigate trends in Mediterranean temperature extremes since the mid-20th century. The underlying trends are found to be generally consistent with global trends of temperature and their extremes: cold extremes decrease and warm/hot extremes increase. This consistency is better manifested in the western part of the Mediterranean where changes are most pronounced since the mid-1970s. In the eastern part, a cooling is observed, with a near reversal in the last two decades. This inter-basin discrepancy is clearer in winter, while in summer changes are more uniform and the west-east difference is restricted to the rate of increase of warm/hot extremes, which is higher in central and eastern parts of the Mediterranean over recent decades. Linear regression and correlation analysis reveals some influence of major large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns on the occurrence of these extremes -both in terms of trend and interannual variability. These relationships are not, however, able to account for the most striking features of the observations -in particular the intensification of the increasing trend in warm/hot extremes, which is most evident over the last 15-20 yr in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean.

“…Under the background of global warming, significant changes can be detected in precipitation and its extremes over a wide range of regions (e.g., Easterling et al 2000;Frich et al 2002;Yan et al 2002;Alexander et al 2006;Min et al 2011;Rusticucci 2012;Orlowsky and Seneviratne 2012;IPCC 2013;Kruger and Sekele 2013). Precipitation changes accompanied with the warming exert profound impacts on the sustainable development of economic society and thus are highly concerned by the scientific community, policy makers, and the public.…”

Autumn rain of West China is a typical climate phenomenon, which is characterized by continuous rainy days and large rainfall amounts and exerts profound impacts on the economic society. Based on daily precipitation data from 524 observation stations for the period of 1961-2014, this article comprehensively examined secular changes in autumn rain of West China, including its amount, frequency, intensity, and associated extremes. The results generally show a significant reduction of rainfall amount and rainy days and a significant enhancement of mean rainfall intensity for the average of West China during autumn (SeptemberOctober) since 1961. Meanwhile, decreasing trends are consistently observed in the maximum daily rainfall, the longest consecutive rainy days, the greatest consecutive rainfall amount, and the frequencies of the extreme daily rainfall, consecutive rainfall, and consecutive rainfall process. Further analysis indicates that the decreases of autumn rainfall and related extremes in West China are associated with the decreases in both water vapor content and atmospheric unstable stratification during the past decades. On the regional scale, some differences exist in the changes of autumn rainfall between the eastern and western parts of West China. Besides, it is found that the autumn rainy season tends to start later and terminate earlier particularly in eastern West China.
