The effects of climate change have direct implications on temperature regimes. The aim objective of this study was to investigate the trends of monthly and annual mean temperature datas of Aegean Region in Turkey. For this purpose used the 35 stations. These data sets were trend analyzed.To determine trends of datas non-parametric Mann-Kendall, Spearman Rho, Sen method and parametric linear regression methods were used.The difference in monthly and annual changes were examined. Annual average temperature analyzes showed an increasing tendency in general, with an average trend of 85% in all methods. Monthly average temperature analyzes showed increasing temperature trends in May, June, July, August, September and October. In generaly, no significant trends have been observed outside of these months. The average rate of increase in ownership among these stations is 71%. Results of the temperature data trend show a general increasing trend. This results were indicator of effects of climate change and drought in Aegean Region. After the operating, managing and planning of water resources in the region should be taken into consideration of this effects of climate change and drought.

The 19th century and about 0.2–0.3°C over the last 40 years in general result observed that warm extremes increased and the 20th century (Houghton et al., 1995). cold extremes decreased for all of the weather stations.

In the regarding the analysis of temperature Extreme temperature indices showed a general warming trends present from past to present many studies have been during the past 39 years.There has been significant increase carried out and maintained.Some of these are as follows. in tropical and warm nights at the two urban stations.Trends in maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature Karl et al.

They found that the minimum basin in Southern Peninsular India by Jhajharia et al.(2013). temperature increased over the period 1951–1990 by 0.84°C About 60% (45%) of the stations exhibited increasing trends (0.56°C) compared to only 0.28°C (0.33°C) increase in in Tmax (Tmin) in different durations. Results of tests of maximum temperatures.Kruger and Shongwe (2004) studied spatial and temporal homogeneity of trends by the Van Belle trends in South African temperaturesfor the period 1960 to and Hughes method showed that trends in temperature over 2003. A total of 23 stations showed positive trends in their the Godavari basin were not homogeneous for different annual mean maximum temperature series. Monthly trends months or at different stations.Almazroui etal. examined on of average annual temperatures showed large differences in 13 annual extreme indices for Saudi Arabia, using trend between stations,and for each station between months, observations from 27 surface stations with high-quality data but similar tendencies in trend between months were found for the period 1981–2010. The findings show that 92/89% of to exist for stations closeby and also for groups of stations the stations displayed a significant increase in the annual on a regional basis.Daily maximum and minimum occurrence of warm days/nights and 96/93% revealed a temperatures, Tmax and Tmin, and diurnal temperature significant decrease for the occurrence of cool days/nights range, DTR, are analyzed to detect significant daily time (Almazroui etal., 2014).

Trend analysis of rainfall data series for 1871–2008 did not show any clear trend for the region as a whole, although there are seasonal trends for some seasons and for some hydro-meteorological subdivisions. Similar analysis for temperature data showed that all the four temperature variables (maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures and temperature range) had rising trend. In this study, the temperature in the35stations of the Aegean Region for the period of the longest period1950-2015 and the shortest period 1971-2015 were analyzed statistically in different time series including averages of yearlyand monthly pattern. These data sets were trend analyzed by using linear regression analysis, Mann-Kendal, Rho and Sen’s methods. The difference in monthly and annual changes were examined. The work to be done here will provide significant contributions to the water resources of this region which are important for Turkey as agricultural. Figure 1: Aegean Region 2. Study Area and Data The dataset used in this study includes annual and monthly The Aegean region extends over an area of approximate (Tmean) temperature variable, recorded at 35 stations of the 85.000 km2, which is nearly 11% of the total geographical TurkishState Meteorological Service (TSMS) over the area of Turkey. The Aegean Region is one of the 7 longest period1950–2015 (Table 1).Missing temperature geographical regions of Turkey.

The Aegean Tmean of all the 35 stations of the Aegean region are given region has perpendicular mountains to its shores and many in Table 2, which shows that the average mean temperature valleys between them. Although some of the provinces varies from 0.060C at Bolvadin the month of January to inland show also characteristics of continental climate 28.790C at Milas in the month of July (DMI).
