The topography of this part of the country is very diverse and it affects the climate. The Mann-Kendall non-parametric test coupled with Sen\u2019s slope was applied to identify the significant long-term climatic trends, as well as the magnitude of those trends. According to the present study, all climatic stations in Eastern Slovakia show a positive trend in temperature during the year and almost all of them show a significant positive annual trend in temperature. Seasonal and monthly trend analyses produced the same results. Trends in temperature are always positive during winter and spring. Trends in precipitation are also mostly positive during winter and spring, although some negative trends were also found during these seasons. The spatial distribution of precipitation and temperature trends was modelled in ArcGIS using geostatistical analysis. Abrupt positive trend shifts in annual precipitation and temperature time series were also investigated. An abrupt shift in precipitation at the highest climatic station, Lomnick\u00fd peak, began around 1985 (+). Abrupt shifts in temperature began around 1970 (+) at the presented climatic stations. The extremity of the climate is confirmed by an analysis of the trends in wet and dry spells. Trends showed increasing tendencies in medium- and long-term wet spells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/w10060727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,4]],"date-time":"2018-06-04T08:52:03Z","timestamp":1528102323000},"page":"727","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Trends in Precipitation and Temperatures in Eastern Slovakia (1962\u20132014)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7502-9586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina","family":"Zele\u0148\u00e1kov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice 042 00, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pavol","family":"Purcz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice 042 00, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8452-3532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Bli\u0161\u0165an","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cartography and Geographical Information Systems, Institute of Geodesy, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice 042 00, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zuzana","family":"Vranayov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice 042 00, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helena","family":"Hlavat\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Slovakian Hydrometeorological Institute, Branch Office Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice 041 17, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0468-6703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Constantin","family":"Diaconu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Integrated Analysis and Territorial Management, Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Faculty of Geography, University of Bucharest, Nicolae Balcescu 1, Bucharest 010041, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Manuela","family":"Portela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Lisbon, Lisbon 1049-001, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climatic Change) (2015, May 15).
