Short summary
We present the first summer temperature reconstruction for the Caucasus using maximum latewood density from tree rings. The record spans 326 years and calibrates exceptionally well with instrumental data. Before the onset of unprecedented warming in the 1990s, long-term temperature variability is low, but volcanic eruptions cause distinct short-term cooling events. Our reconstruction agrees well with other regional products, but contrasts with an Alpine reconstruction at higher frequencies.
