Objective: The aim of the present study was to reveal changes in the wind regime by investigating wind-speed data from meteorological stations in western Iran and comparing them in the last three decades (1986–2015). Results: Two main groups of daily cycles were identifed; one group with a single peak and one group with two or more peaks. Using spectral decomposition technique, it was revealed that the heterogeneity observed in the area in terms of altitude and topography results in diferences in the density of the spectra with similar frequencies. Two main daily cycles were also identifed for each station. Although there were low frequencies, the intensity of the waves at the examined stations was the consequence of the interaction between the frequency, period, and distribution space. By evaluating harmonics in the area, it was revealed that the variance of the frst harmonic is maximized in the south and southwest, while the variance of the second harmonic is maximized in the north and northwest. The positive value of the trend in the frst harmonic indicated that the trend of the variance for the frst harmonic has increased in the central and eastern parts and has decreased in the northern and western parts.
