This study examines long-term climate patterns in Armenia through the analysis of data obtained from two meteorological stations located at different elevations above sea level. Information on precipitation, air temperature, and relative humidity over an 85-year period (1938–2023) was analyzed from October, marking the end of the tree growth period, to September of the next vegetation season. The results are useful for dendrochronological research.
