dc.description.abstractThe study area is located between 36 degrees to 42 degrees N and 26 degrees to 45 degrees E. In this study, we have used the data that has been provided by the Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS), including the daily minimum, maximum, and average temperatures that were recorded at 156 meteorological stations. Daily data are converted into monthly and seasonal data to explain the descriptive statistics during winter and summer. Datasets that are used to determine temperature extremities comprise daily and original data. This study aims to understand the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of extreme summer and winter temperatures in Turkey. The Kruskal- Wallis (K-W) test is performed to determine whether any significant changes in the temperature data are observed. The Mann-Kendall (M-K) order correlation coefficient method is performed to understand the nature and magnitude of the variability in data. According to K-W test statistics, a statistically significant inhomogeneity is observed, particularly during summer at all stations at most of the temperatures. Furthermore, according to the M-K test statistics, a statistically significant increase in temperature extremes (i.e., during summer days, tropical nights, and extreme temperature range) is observed throughout Turkey.
