000134918 5203_ $$aThis study examines the spatial and temporal variations in seasonal precipitation patterns across the Spanish mainland, within the western Mediterranean Basin, spanning the years 1916–2015. Utilizing the recently developed MOPREDAS_century database at a 10 × 10 km grid resolution, our analysis reveals predominantly negative trends in precipitation across the study area over the entire period, primarily driven by declines in spring precipitation, with lesser decreases in summer and winter. Notably, these trends exhibit complexity, manifesting as two distinct pulses occurring roughly at the outset and conclusion of the 20th century. However, upon employing a moving windows analysis, we find that since the mid‐1970s, seasonal precipitation trends have largely been nonsignificant. Spatially, the precipitation regime across 1916–2015 delineates three primary zones: a winter‐maximum zone in the north, an autumn‐maximum zone along the eastern coast, and a transition from winter‐maximum to spring‐maximum towards the western and inland regions. Noteworthy shifts in this spatial distribution are evident over the four 25‐year intervals examined. Initially, during 1916–1940, winter, autumn and spring regimes occupied 44.1%, 24.2% and 31.7% of the land, respectively. Subsequently, in the periods 1941–1965 and 1966–1990, winter dominance expanded to over 50% of the grid area, while spring varied between 34.7% and 25.5%, and autumn decreased notably to 12.4% and 13.5%. Lastly, significant alterations occurred in the final period of 1991–2015, with winter coverage decreasing to 33.7%, spring to 15.8% and autumn expanding to 50.1% of the grid area. In summary, the prevalent winter and spring regimes at the dawn of the 20th century have transitioned towards an autumn‐dominated regime, particularly in much of the central and western Spanish mainland, with these shifts possibly linked to the evolving precipitation trends. These findings contribute novel insights, particularly pre‐1950, and align with published results post‐1950 across the Mediterranean, particularly in its western regions. Furthermore, they suggest a potential connection between changes in the spatial distribution of seasonal precipitation regimes and temporal variations in the primary moisture sources over the study area.
