Cover Story: This study aims to shed new light on the climatic characteristics and inter-annual trends of precipitation over Greece and surrounding areas using ERA5 precipitation data (1950–2020). We estimated annual Theil–Sen trends and Mann–Kendall significance. We also used generalized additive models (GAMs) to estimate non-linear variabilities. The results indicated significant declining inter-annual trends of areal precipitation. Declining trends were more pronounced in winter over western and eastern Greece. GAMs highlighted that precipitation presented high inter-decadal variability. We concluded that precipitation increased from the 1950s to the late 1960s, consequently decreased until the early 1990s, and afterwards presented an increase until 2020 with a smaller rate than the 1950–1960s.
