Data of meteorological observations covering a 130-year-long period were used to outline the ongoing changes in agroclimatic conditions in the Central Non-Chernozem Zone. The study revealed a consistent intense growth in heat availability across the territory, especially over the last three decades, and a decrease in moisture availability for a warm period. An assessment is made of the influence of climatic changes on the yield level of the main crops for the last 100 years.
