Abstract :One of the critical consequences of climate change, expecting in the future but beginning to appear nowadays, is the increase in average earth temperatures. The Mediterranean basin we live in is one of the regions that this climate change will most affect. Therefore, simulation studies using climate models gain importance. In this study, Kayseri station's 39-year temperature changes between the 1980-2018 years were simulated using the CLIGEN climate model. The relationship between observed and predicted temperatures was determined utilizing the Mann-Kendall statistical method. CLIGEN estimated the annual average, minimum and maximum average temperatures above the detected value. These values have shown that the study area may encounter a drought problem and be affected by climate change soon.
