Trends in annual and seasonal drought patterns in Turkey were investigated on the basis of regionally averaged surface humidity index (SHI) series. For this purpose, two nonparametric approaches, Mann-Kendall test and Sen's T test, were used. For some regions, significant upward trends in fall SHI series were detected due to the increasing precipitation for the period 1951-1998. The North Atlantic Oscillation influences on the SHI series were also investigated and significant negative correlations were found for some regions.
