Abstract

The paper analyses, spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation over Montenegro. Data on mean monthly precipitation during the period 1961–2015 from 17 meteorological stations were used for the analysis. Four regions with different spatial precipitation regimes were identified by using the principal component analysis and the agglomerative hierarchical clustering method. A downward tendency in annual precipitation prevails over Montenegro. The most prominent reduction was present in the summer season. In contrast, precipitation increased during autumn. However, the majority of estimated trend values was low and statistically insignificant.
