Resumen:
Various climate change scenarios predict an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation in regions located at middle latitudes, including northern Mexico. The studies performed in the Mexican Republic using downscaling of global circulation models predict this trend, particularly in northwestern Mexico. Nevertheless, given the difficulties of modeling at the scale of hydrological regions or basins, an analysis of observed trends is needed to corroborate the existence of this climatic behavior based on facts. Since analyses using non-parametric methods are limited, the present work proposes the use of different methods, the combination of which provide more certainty as to whether climate trends exist. This work analyzed records from the lower Yaqui River basin and found clear increasing trends in temperature, while no significant trends in precipitation were observed.
