The paper presents a detailed analysis of precipitation conditions in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland, covering data from 21 poviats¹. The basic data consisted of monthly sums of atmospheric precipitation from 49 stations of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management National Research Institute (Pol.: Instytut Meteorologii i Gospodarki Wodnej Państwowy Instytut Badawczy - IMGW-PIB) in 1991-2020. Variability of precipitation conditions was demonstrated through annual and seasonal totals, the share of seasonal precipitation in annual totals, and the ratios of summer to winter precipitation and autumn and spring precipitation. It was found that area averaged annual totals ranged from below 600 mm in the poviats located in the west of the Voivodeship to more than 800 mm in the poviats located in the north-east. On average, the lowest annual totals were recorded in the area of the Police (550 mm) and Gryfino (565 mm) poviats, and the average highest in the Koszalin (842 mm) poviat. In most poviats, there was a slight, statistically insignificant tendency of increasing annual totals. The contribution of precipitation in spring, summer, autumn, and winter to the annual total in the voivodeship was 21, 33, 24, and 22%, respectively. The greatest year-to-year variability was found for summer (Vs = 28-39%) and winter precipitation totals (Vs = 29-35%). The most statistically significant result of the analysed features was identified for the calendar spring. The most prominent statistically significant changes in precipitation conditions were observed in the Goleniów, Kamień, and Sławno poviats.
