Abstract The article present a reconstruction of the late spring–summer (May–July) precipitation for the Zilair plateau (Southern Urals) based on latewood width chronologies of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) for the 1776–2015 period. Wavelet analysis revealed a number of characteristic periodicities in the reconstructed precipitation variability. Cross-wavelet analysis using indices of solar activity (SA), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) showed co-variability of the precipitation with SA at about 20-yr, sporadic links to NAO on multi-year to decadal time scale, and a robust link to AMO at multidecadal time scales.
