Employed non-parametric methods, including the Mann–Kendall and Sen's tests, for trend detection.
Assessed serial correlation to determine significance levels.
Identified significant trends in January, February, and September precipitations and annual means.
Observed a notable decrease in annual mean precipitation in western and southern Turkey and Black Sea coasts.
Regional average precipitation trends mirrored those of individual stations.
