Abstract – In this article, we analyse the variations in temperature and precipitation in the Tărlung River basin (central Romania), based on 20-year weather data records, at monthly scales. The results have shown a high variability in monthly precipitation. Normality tests revealed deviations from the normal distribution, especially in the monthly scale datasets. Homoscedasticity tests confirmed variance homogeneity in most cases. Trend analyses indicated stable temperature patterns. Changepoint tests identified breakpoints particularly after 2010–2012. These results contribute to understanding local climate variability and its potential implications for hydrological processes, providing a solid foundation for predicting future impacts in the area.
Keywords – change points, climate variability, statistical analysis, trend.
