Factors affecting climate formation are examined in two main categories: natural and anthropogenic factors. Natural factors include atmospheric composition, solar radiation, topographic structure, and ocean circulation, while anthropogenic factors encompass industrial activities, energy production, agricultural practices, deforestation, and urban expansion. In this study, climate trend analyses were conducted for Adıyaman province located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. In this context, trend analyses were performed on annual extreme temperature data obtained from meteorological stations in Adıyaman center, Kahta, and Gölbaşı for the period 1993-2022. Non-parametric statistical methods (Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope estimator) were used for trend analyses. Research findings revealed statistically significant increases in maximum and minimum temperature values in the Adıyaman region. Trend analyses demonstrated that temperature values in the region showed an upward trend and the frequency of extreme temperature events increased. In conclusion, this research has revealed the sensitivity of the Adıyaman region to climate change and the effects of temperature increases with scientific data. The results constitute an important scientific resource for understanding regional climate variability, predicting future climate trends, and developing climate change mitigation strategies.
