Popis: Abstract Globally, hydroclimatic variables have been changed due to human activities and have an impact on agricultural production and water resource management. This study investigated the spatio-temporal variability of hydroclimatic variables in Zarima subbasin using rainfall and temperature data from 1984 to 2018 and stream flow data from 1990 to 2014. The data were analyzed using the coefficient of variation, standardized anomaly index, Mann–Kendall trend and Sen’s slope estimator test. The results showed that rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures of the Zarima subbasin varied spatially and temporally. The annual and Kiremit season rainfall and stream flow showed low to moderate variability (CV
