The area of the Beskydy Mountains covered in this article is 2,412 km², and the average elevation is 557 meters above sea level. The selected area covers only 3% of the territory of the Czech Republic.
The climate is changing worldwide, and the Beskydy Mountains are no exception. Given that the elevation range of the mountain range is 1,000 m, we calculated the characteristics of the Beskydy Mountains for individual years and months from 1874 to the present using available data. For precipitation totals, average air temperature, and new snowfall totals, we obtained 150-year time series, from which we are able to analyze trends and identify historical extremes in this region. Based on our knowledge of the past and present, we can better prepare for and adapt to the future climate, which influences and will increasingly influence most of our activities.
Keywords: air temperature, precipitation total, trend, weather station, Bílá
