Understanding precipitation trends is critical for assessing climate change and its impacts on water resources, and disaster preparedness. In this study it was aimed to analyzes the long-term trends of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for Çanakkale. The precipitation data from a period of 1929 to 2023 was used. Three distinct models—Linear Regression, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks—were employed to evaluate SPI trends. The linear regression model indicated significant short-term fluctuations in SPI values but did not reveal a clear long-term trend toward wetter or drier conditions. The ARIMA model, optimized for stationarity, also suggested relatively stable precipitation patterns, with no pronounced directional trend over the study period. The LSTM model, designed for sequential data analysis, captured complex temporal dependencies in SPI values but did not indicate a persistent long-term trend. Instead, the results highlighted substantial interannual variability in precipitation. These findings underscore the complexity of climate patterns in Çanakkale Province and emphasize the need for diverse modeling approaches to accurately assess precipitation trends. The lack of a clear directional trend suggests that short-term climate variability plays a more significant role than long-term changes in precipitation patterns in the region. This study provides a foundation for further research into advanced modeling techniques to enhance climate prediction capabilities. Future studies should explore hybrid and ensemble methods to improve accuracy, which is crucial for climate adaptation strategies and water resource management.
