In the context of climate change, this article tries to answer the question of whether a correlation exists between the precipitation and temperature series at a regional scale in Dobrogea, Romania. Six sets of time series are used for this aim, each of them containing ten series—precipitation and temperatures—recorded at the same period at the same hydro-meteorological stations. The existence of a monotonic trend was first assessed for each individual series. Then, the Regional time series (RTS) (one for a set of series) were built and the Mann–Kendall test was employed to test the existence of a monotonic trend for RTSs. In an affirmative case, Sen’s method was employed to determine the slope of the linear trend. Finally, nonparametric trend tests were utilized to verify if there was a correlation between the six RTSs. This study resulted in the fact that the only RTS presenting an increasing trend was that of minimum temperatures, and there was a weak correlation between the RTS of minimum precipitations and maximum temperatures.
