The features of the distribution of temporal variability of the trends of thunderstorm activity in May - Au-gust on various regions of Ukraine, which appeared during the period of the modern global warming. As a quan-titative measure of trends, we used the slope of the linear trend of the time series. Found that during this period over most regions of Ukraine thunderstorm activity has increased. This corresponds to the notions of the possible consequences of global warming, which leads to an increase in the total content of water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere and changes in cyclone activity over the regions of Ukraine.

Surface temperatures of many waters in the Atlantic Ocean during the period of the modern warming rising steadily, driven by a reduction of its apvelings and increase the flow of heat delivered from the South Atlantic jet northern South Equatorial Current. In the period of 2002 - 2011 years. Atlantic warming has stopped. In subsequent years, the twenty-first century, probably reducing its surface temperature, which could lead to a cooling of the climate in Europe and North America.
