ABSTRACT. New daily temperature records in Oltenia. Pronounced thermal contrasts at the beginning of the summer 2013. The heat waves represent one of the consequences of the globally climate’s warming. These are usually associated with thermal discomfort and drought and sometimes are followed by intervals characterized by a high-degree atmospheric instability and/or significant cools. In recent years at temperate latitudes an increase in the intensity and frequency of these weather events can be observed. In this context, we are proposing to make a synoptic analysis of a succession of such weather events produced in southwestern Romania in June 2013, comparing with the Oltenia’s climatology.
Keywords: thermal deviations, anomaly, synoptic characteristics.
