                         was held in Maccio. Brazil, in August 2004. Scientists from eight 
                         southern countries brought daily climalological data from their 
                         region for a meticulous assessment of data quality and 
                         homogeneity, and for the preparation of climate change indices 
                         that can be used for analyses of changes in climate extremes. This 
                         study presents an examination of the trends over 1960-2000 in the 
                         indices of daily temperature extremes. The results indicate no 
                         consistent changes in the indices based on daily maximum 
                         temperature while significant trends were found in the indices 
                         based on daily minimum temperature. Significant increasing trends 
                         in the percentage of warm nights and decreasing trends in the 
                         percentage of cold nights were observed at many stations. It seems 
                         that this warming is mostly due lo more warm nights and fewer cold 
                         nights during the summer (December-February) and fall (March 
                         -May). The stations with significant trends appear to be located 
                         closer to the west and east coasts of South America. Reprinted by
