Abstract

The aim of the paper was to present the temporal and spatial variability of precipitation in the Łodź province in the period 1961–2015. Daily precipitation totals from 20 precipitation stations in the province were used. It was shown that the mean yearly precipitation sum averaged across the province was 582 mm, and at particular stations ranged from 515 to 648. The totals were observed to be highest in the southern part of the province and they dropped to the north, where water deficits happened most often. Summer totals were more than double the winter ones. Spring and autumn precipitation totals were similar, with a slight advantage to spring totals. Daily sums most often fall in the range 1–10 mm. Daily totals exceeding 50 mm were extremely rare, and appeared once every few years, mainly in summer. At the moment, there are no statistically significant changes in the structure and level of precipitation, but there is a slight tendency towards increasing winter totals and decreasing summer totals.
