Abstract
Annual and seasonal rainfall data taken in the period 1951-1986 have been spatially averaged over the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and analysed with the aim of searching for the presence of trends. The results of the two rank tests recommended by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) support the hypothesis of a decreasing trend in the autumn rainfall and, with less probability, an increasing trend in spring
