  1. Selected climatic indices for Syria

  2. Coastal district - precipitation amount Non significant but slight decrease

  3. Coastal district - precipitation intensity Non significant but slight decrease

  4. Coastal district – hot nights Highly significant increase

  5. Coastal district – cold days Non significant but slight decrease

  6. Coastal district - conclusions • Non significant decrease in total precipitation • Intensity is also slightly decreasing • Previous analysis in the region shows seasonal variations in intensity and amount • Tmin significantly increasing • Mostly no significant change in Tmax but significant increase in Tx90p (warm days) in Safita and TxX (max Tmax) in Lattakia

  7. Western inland district – consecutive dry days Slight increase

  8. Western inland district – consecutive wet days Slight increase

  9. Western inland district – diurnal temperature range Highly significant increase

  10. Western inland district - conclusions • No significant change in precipitation • The 2 stations in the region show different trends in temperature

  11. Step desert district - precipitation total Little change in trend

  12. Step desert district – max Tmax Non significant increase

  13. Step desert district – conclusions • Little change in precipitation (but has very little anyway!) • The very highest max and min temperatures are not significantly changing BUT the number of days above the 90th percentile in both is significantly changing

  14. North eastern district – Cool nights Significant decrease

  15. North eastern district – Warm nights Significant increase

  16. North eastern district – precipitation total Non-significant decrease

  17. North eastern district - conclusions • Significant increase in Tmin • Increase in Tmax but not as much as Tmin • General decrease in precipitation – non significant
