Summary/Abstract: The aim of this work is to present the influence of changes in urbanization by showing the variability of changes in long-term air temperature at three meteorological stations located in Warsaw: Ursynów, Okęcie and Bielany. Unlike the station Ursynów, where the surrounding area has changed significantly in the last 50 years, at the vicinity of the stations Okęcie and Bielany did not undergo such extensive transformations. Meteorological data used in the paper includes the values of average daily air temperature as well as the values of the daily maximum and minimum temperature. Trends in the annual average temperature, the average monthly temperature and the average maximum and minimum annual and monthly temperature for the period 1961–2010 were analyzed. A significant trend of thermal conditions at the Ursynów station for the average temperature and for the minimum monthly temperature has been observed.
