Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change and its\npotential consequences are one of\nthe major challenges facing human development\nin the 21st<\/sup> century and one of the\nmost important environmental issues related to human life, prosperity and\nsecurity. This study examined the trends in thirteen annual extreme indices\nof temperature over the period 1986-2016 at Lattakia\nand Safita in the Syrian coastal region. Analysis of\nannual time series trends of temperature indices using linear regression test and Man- Kendall\ntest revealed that the coastal region is warming. Clear and significant increasing trends were found at\nboth stations in the annual number of summer days and tropical nights, the annual\naverage of maximum and minimum daily temperatures, warm days and warm nights and diurnal temperature range,\nand insignificant increasing trend in\ntemperature of the hottest days. Clear and\nsignificant increasing trend was also found in the temperature of the warmest nights at Lattakia station. In contrast, clear significant decreasing trends were detected\nin the cool days and the cool nights, and\ninsignificant decreasing trends in the\ntemperature of the coldest nights. The temperature of the coldest days\nwitnessed an insignificant decreasing trend at Lattakia station and an increasing trend at Safita station. Comparing\nthe trends observed\nin the Syrian coast region suggests that, in general, the Lattakia station\ncloser to the Mediterranean Sea warmed at a greater rate than Safita mountain station.    \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
