Istanbul, as one of the four anchor megacities of Europe, has shown a rise of 0.94°C in average annual temperature over the long period of 1912–2016 under impacts of anthropogenic climate change. A notable increase in temperatures has started after the 1940s, which is in parallel with the beginning of industrialization era in Istanbul. This warming is associated with an extensive population growth and accompanied the decrease in vegetation cover. Increasing in minimum series of temperature is more evident than maximum values and the rising rate of temperature values has been more pronounced during recent decades. The first significant upward trend in precipitation series has periodically started in 1920s, while there has been a stable trend from 2001 till today. The daily average of rainfall amount increased with a mean value of 58 mm during the total study period. Rising rate of daily maximum precipitation has been more evident in the last 3 decades, which is shown by the increased frequency of heavy rainfall. In this regard, both of the temperature and precipitation series had higher mean values (13.9°C and 878 mm) for the final period (1965–2016) compared to the mean values (13.6°C and 799 mm) belonging to the first period (1912–1964).

Using documentary data and long-term temperature and precipitation series for the years 1775–2007, climatic, weather and other phenomena in the Czech Lands following the 1783 Lakagígar eruption in Iceland and the 1815 Tambora eruption in Indonesia are investigated. The Lakagígar eruption had clear post-volcanic effects on the weather in central Europe (dry fog, heavy thunderstorms, optical phenomena), with the occurrence of significant cold temperature anomalies in winter 1783/84, spring 1785 and the summer and autumn of 1786. The Tambora eruption was not accompanied by any particular weather phenomena, but was followed by an extremely cold summer in 1816. A comparison of the two eruptions shows that the effects of the Lakagígar eruption were climatologically stronger than those of the Tambora eruption.

Abstract The authors present the results of a climatologic reconstruction of the 217-year series (1791-2007) of monthly average values of air temperature and monthly totals of precipitation in Wrocław (Breslau). The reconstruction is based on verified measurement (or observation) data from the Breslau-Sternwarte Observatory (1791-1930), which were completed (1931-2007) by reconstructing values calculated from measurement data from other meteorological stations in Wrocław. Only the data for 1945 were estimated from the values of Polish (Cracow, Gniezno, Puławy) and foreign (Berlin, Prague) stations. The problem of restoring the homogeneity of the available initial data was taken into consideration because there were changes in location and observation times. The data were verified by comparing the measured values, among others of temperature, with the data from the nearest as well as other meteorological stations in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, de Bilt. In relation to this, the problem of special and temporal anisotropy of relations between the values of analysed stations was discussed.
