ABSTRACT
Atmospheric air temperature is a fundamental indicator of climate change, directly influencing ecosystems, water resources, and human livelihoods. Studying temperature trends is essential for understanding global warming's impacts and developing strategies for environmental sustainability and climate adaptation. The purpose of the research is to study the dynamics of atmospheric air temperature as one of the integrated indicators of climate change and the main factors influencing the state of water resources, such as the territory of Mykolaiv city and the Mykolaiv region. The study methods are observations; comparisons and analogies; analysis; synthesis; and generalization. Also, we have used for the research: Microsoft Exсel, mathematical modeling through the use of regression analysis. The method involved constructing statistical models to predict the dependent variable based on one or more independent variables. The findings derived from regression analysis were visualized through scatterplots, regression lines, and confidence intervals, allowing for a clear interpretation of trends and patterns Over the period 1991–2024, the average annual temperature in the Mykolaiv region increased by 1.2°C, and its growth rate is three times higher than the global rate. The highest temperature was recorded in 1998 (+40.1°C), the lowest in 2006 (−25.9°C), and recent years (2023–2024) have become the warmest in the entire period of observations. The summer months show the greatest temperature extremes: the average maximum temperature in August reaches +29.6°C, and the number of hot days is steadily increasing every year. Therefore, the data indicate a steady increase in days with temperatures above 25°C during the analyzed period. This may be the result of global warming and climate change. However, in some years, the number of hot days may be lower or higher than trend values, which indicates natural fluctuations and the possible influence of other climatic factors. In general, the graph shows a clear trend towards an increase in the number of hot days, which is an important indicator of climate change in the region.
