Changes in hydro-meteorological variables, driven by the deleterious effects of climate change and global warming on climate variables, pose numerous threats at global and local scales. The identification and monitoring of these threats is imperative for the effective mitigation of extreme climate events. In this study, homogeneity analyses of long-term total precipitation and average temperature observations of 140 meteorological stations in T & uuml;rkiye were conducted, and the Pettitt test determined the years of change. The spatial and temporal distributions of these variables change over time and were determined using the Mann-Kendall test. The findings revealed that while fluctuations in precipitation change have been observed in T & uuml;rkiye over the last 35 years, no substantial increase or decrease has been identified. An average increase of 0.47 degrees C was detected in temperature over the last 35 years. In the central and eastern regions of the country, this increase has been recorded to be approximately 2.25 degrees C., which, while potentially hazardous, can be attributed to the effects of climate change. In particular, the detection of statistically significant temperature increases across Turkey, while potentially dangerous, may enable extreme weather events such as drought, which are affected by the temperature increase.
