Trend investigation of the hydrometeorological variables is a critical component of the adaptation to global climate change. Accurate determination of the ongoing hydrometeorological trends will help to make more reliable plans for a sustainable future. This study examined 50 years of monthly and annual data belonging to Kosice station using Mann-Kendall, Spearman’s rho, and Sen’s slope approaches. Trends of the precipitation and maximum and minimum air temperature were analyzed by applying the traditional methods mentioned. The Kosice station records start in 1972 and end in 2022, the same as for all three parameters. While trends were not identified for the precipitation as statistically meaningful, significantly increasing trends were found for minimum and maximum air temperature.

Keywords: Climatological Trend, Mann-Kendall Test, Spearman’s Rho Test, Sen’s Slope, Trend Magnitude
