We have analyzed the effect of changes in the frequency of circulation types on significant seasonal trends of 8 climatic variables (maximum, minimum, and average daily temperature, precipitation amount and occurrence, relative humidity, cloudiness, and sunshine duration) at 21 Czech stations in the period 1961-1998 using 24 objective and 2 subjective atmospheric circulation classifications collected and developed within the COST733 Action. Using two independent methods, we show that recent climatic trends can be only partly explained by changes in the frequency of circulation types.
