Abstract. - Climatic features of the autumn 2010 in Oltenia. The autumn 2010
displayed two distinct parts in Oltenia: the first one was warm and dry, while
the second was rainy, but also marked by warm intervals. In November, there were
registered exceptional maximum thermal values. It was the 12th rainy autumn and
this feature of rainy autumn became quite frequent in Oltenia. In November, the
weather was generally warmer than in October and there were registered absolute
thermal records at many meteorological stations. The present paper aims at
thoroughly analysing the features of this autumn and at rendering a comparison
with the last 11 autumns. The paper is useful to researchers, experts in climate
field, PhD and master students.
Keywords: rainy autumn, heat waves, Hellmann criterion, warm autumn, record
