Abstract
The present study is concerned with probing the daily average temperature behavior of 64 synoptic stations at the north west of Iran using the regression method with a 32 year (1985-2016) statistical period. The obtained results indicate an increasing trend in the average temperature of a few areas in the studied region. A negative rate in the average temperature is found during January to March and October to December. Overall, the month of March exhibits the highest significance level. In the winter, a few northern and eastern areas show the highest positive rate of temperature variation. The southern areas of West Azerbaijan and a few northern areas of the Kurdistan demonstrate greater positive rates than other spots during spring. In the summer days, the negative values are merely observed during September. Moreover, only a few cases in central and western areas in the West Azerbaijan show a positive rate of average temperature. However, different negative rates are observed during November and December in a few parts of West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan and Kurdistan.
