The altitude and geographical location of this isolated alpine environment makes it a good detector of climate change. The data were generated by applying geostatistical co-kriging to significant instrumental precipitation and temperature (minimum, maximum and mean) datasets. The correlation between precipitation and altitude was not particularly high and the statistical analysis yielded some surprising results in the form of mean annual precipitation maps and yearly precipitation time series. These results confirm the importance of orographic precipitation in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and show a decrease in mean annual precipitation of 33 mm per decade. Seasonality, however, has remained constant throughout the period of the study. The results show that previous studies have overestimated the altitudinal precipitation gradient in the Sierra Nevada and reveal its complex spatial variability. In addition, the results show a clear correspondence between the mean annual precipitation and the NAO index and, to a much lesser extent, the WeMO index. With respect to temperature, there is a high correlation between minimum temperature and altitude (coefficient of correlation = −0.84) and between maximum temperature and altitude (coefficient of correlation = −0.9). Thus, our spatial temperature maps were very similar to topographic maps, but the temporal trend was complex, with negative (decreasing) and positive (increasing) trends. A dynamic model of snowfall can be obtained by using the degree-day methodology. These results should be considered when checking the local performance of climatological models.This research was founded by Agencia Española de Investigación (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades of Spain) grant numbers PID2019-106435GB-I00 and PID2022-140092OB-I00.Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Pardo-Iguzquiza, Eulogio [0000-0002-3865-8639]Martos Rosillo, Sergio [0000-0001-8493-7789]Jódar, Jorge [0000-0001-8708-0303]Dowd, Peter A.
