Abstract

This study examines the annual dynamics of major meteorological parameters observed in Navoi city between 2012 and 2024, including average, maximum and minimum air temperatures, relative humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. Based on annual statistical data, the research identifies long-term trends, climatic extremes, anomalous years, and explores potential factors contributing to these variations. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying periods of climatic instability and their possible environmental or anthropogenic causes. The findings provide scientific insights into recent climatic changes in the Navoi region and offer forecasts regarding future developments. This article may serve as a valuable resource for specialists in climatology, meteorology, and environmental monitoring.
