This study analyzes the changes in monthly average air temperatures in the Northern Black Sea region during the period 1980–2024. The dynamics of temperature regimes were examined for transitional seasons (spring and autumn), as well as for average maximum summer and average minimum winter temperatures in the cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv. A clear upward trend in temperatures across all seasons was identified, indicating an intensification of regional warming processes. These findings can be utilized to assess climate-related risks and develop adaptation strategies in agriculture and natural resource management.
