Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the trends of changes in maximum daily river discharge in Poland from 1951 to 2020 under climate warming conditions. The study covered two sub-periods: 1951–1988 and 1988–2020, with 1988 considered the conventional year for the change in thermal conditions. Daily maximum discharge was calculated using data from 148 water gauge stations located on 97 rivers, and the Mann-Kendall test was used to analyse trends. The results showed the prevailing falling trends (more than 85%) on the rivers of central and eastern Poland, 40% of which were of statistical significance (p
