Abstract: The reconstruction of the variability of temperature and precipitation in Gdańsk in the period 1722–1769 was done on the basis of Reyger’s descriptions of weather, using thermal and pluvial precipitation data indexing. A few relatively cold and a few warmer periods were identified. The first half of period was very humid, whereas the second one quite dry. Trends of air temperature were not observed. The precipitation totals decreased significantly throughout the year, in spring, winter and autumn. The springs were much cooler than now and so were the summers, while the autumns and winters were relatively warmer. Wet and dry seasons were observed more often than nowadays. The comparison between thermal and pluvial indices with the series of observations proved satisfactory results with exception for winter precipitation.
