“…The increasing trends of the air temperature (T) are similar for Kaunas and Sarajevo WS, ranging from 0.052 0 C to 0.047 0 C. Increasing trends ware also detected for the annual amount of precipitation, ranging from 3.582 mm year -1 in Kaunas to 1.724 mm year -1 in Sarajevo, Annual sum of precipitation has increased by more than 100 mm in Kaunas for a period of 30 years . The observed air temperature and precipitation change patterns in Lithuania and B&H are consistent with the predominant trends in other areas of East Europe Bukantis ArūNas & Rimkus Egidijus, 2005;Jaagus et al, 2009;Branković et al, 2013;Burić et al, 2013;Tripolskaja & Pirogovskaja, 2013;Unkasevic & Tosic, 2013;Rutgersson et al, 2014) and with trends observed globally (Kharin et al, 2013;Trenberth et al, 2013;Jacob et al, 2018;Popov et al, 2018).…”

“…Lithuania and Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) are considered as countries with high vulnerability and low adaptive capacity to cope with climate change (Easterling et al, 2000;Žurovec et al, 2017). The entire territory of these countries is characterized by the warming trend with positive trends in both the maximum and the minimum temperatures throughout the year (Radusin et al, 2013;Radusin et al, 2016;Merl, 2017;Popov et al, 2018;Povilaitis et al, 2018).…”

Lithuania and Bosnia and Herzegovina are considered as countries with high vulnerability and low adaptive capacity to cope with climate change. The entire territory of these countries is characterized by the warming trend, with positive trends in both the maximum and the minimum temperatures throughout the year. The increase in air temperature has resulted in change of evapotranspiration and mean annual water balance values. These countries are also frequently faced with an occurrence of severe droughts and heavy floods. The main purpose of this study was to determine and compare the severity of changes in mean annual water balance for two humid climatic zones, in order to understand how different areas of similar climate characteristics react to climate change and to analyze the significance of their influence. Monthly weather data from two weather stations, Kaunas (Lithuania) and Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), for the time period of 30 years (1988 -2017) were used to determine and analyze the mean annual water balance. The results indicate that climate change has a different effect on the water balance of these two humid areas. Both locations showed a positive trend of reference evapotranspiration, with an increase of 1.450 mm year -1 to 1.503 mm year -1 . However, the total runoff and soil moisture deficit are decreasing in Kaunas (-0.480 mm and -2.114 mm year -1 , respectively), while they are increasing in Sarajevo (0.492 mm and 0.485 mm year -1 , respectively).

“…The decadal trends in annual extreme precipitation indices in the period 1961-2016 are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, and Table 4 by stations individually and averaged for the region. Compared to the observed trends in mean and extreme temperatures Popov, Gnjato, Trbić, & Ivanišević, 2018), consistent with the global warming, extreme precipitation displayed less coherent patterns of change-trends of both signs were present throughout the year. Moreover, most of the estimated trend values were not statistically significant.…”

The changes in annual and seasonal extreme precipitation indices over the East Herzegovina region (Bosnia and Herzegovina) were examined. The data on daily precipitation during the period 1961-2016 from 13 meteorological stations were used for the calculation of 12 extreme precipitation indices recommended by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices for the climate change assessment. The results show a downward trend in the precipitation on wet days (PRCPTOT) and in the frequency of days with precipitation (R0.1mm, R1mm, R10mm, and R20mm), whereas the duration of dry spells increases (CDD) over the entire East Herzegovina region. The trends that indicate increasing dryness are particularly pronounced and significant in the summer season. Although the total precipitation decreases, the upward trends in heavy precipitation events such as RX1day, RX5day, SDII, and R95p indicate changes towards more intense precipitation (particularly pronounced since the beginning of the 21st century). Precipitation variability was strongly dictated by the largescale atmospheric circulations-the North Atlantic Oscillation, the East Atlantic/West Russia pattern and the Arctic Oscillation, especially during the winter season-the significant negative correlation was determined for the majority of extreme precipitation indices.

Constant urban population growth and intensive urbanization lead to increased pressure on urban areas leading to uncomfortable living conditions. The quality of urban living conditions often depends on the thermal comfort of the open urban spaces, which are used on the daily basis. That is the reason why the attention towards outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) is increasing in the last decade among the researchers from different fields of expertise. In this article, the review of the outdoor thermal comfort research in urban areas of 11 countries of Central and Southeast Europe in the last decade (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019). The main aim of the review is to give a comprehensive, systematic and complete insight in the current situation in the OTC research interest. The results of the review show increased but uneven interest in outdoor thermal comfort by the end of the research period in countries of the Central and Southeast Europe. In total, 120 articles on the topic of outdoor thermal comfort were identified in the research area. The most significant contribution to the urban outdoor thermal comfort research comes from Hungary, Serbia and Greece. Furthermore, five research objectives were identified: methodology improvement and development, climate sensitive and comfortable urban design and planning, citizens/pedestrian comfort and health assessment and improvement, tourism and health sector support and literature review.
