In this article, according to observations data of 10 hydrometeorological stations for 1992–2017 the changes in the precipitation regime in the Azerbaijan part of the Caspian Seacoastal territories is studied. It was shown that against the background of global and regional warming, the majority of coastal stations show an increase in precipitation, while marine stations decrease. The greatest increase in precipitation is observed in Baku. The extreme characteristics of precipitation revealed an increase in the recurrence of intense precipitation in Baku, especially in the autumn season. It has been shown that the increased frequency of intense precipitation in the city of Baku is alarming, as it leads to various problems, including the activation of landslide processes.
