The analysis of rainfall from the period of 1971-2000 recorded in the Beskid Sądecki Mountains, in the phytoclimatic research station in Kopciowa near Krynica (φ = 49º 27'N and λ = 20º 58'E, located at the altitude of 720 m) indicated a strong rising tendency of rainfall in winter, spring and autumn. It was reflected in a clearly positive trend of the annual rainfall totals, despite the falling tendency of rainfall in the summer. On average, the annual rainfall totals were 1000 mm. During this 30-year period, the monthly totals of the summer months were characterised by the strongest variability, while the winter months' variability was the weakest. The highest rainfall totals were usually recorded in June and the lowest in February. The mean annual rainfall total increased during the thirty years by 208 mm. An increase in the amount of rainfall during spring and winter and a decrease in the summer indicates that the pluvial climate of the area under research has acquired oceanic features.
