Abstract. - The severe weather situations of 9-10 June 2012 in north-western Romania. The paper analyses a series of characteristics of the severe weather events on the 9th and 10th June 2012 in north-western Romania. The study points out certain similarities and differences between the two situations, based on materials on a synoptic scale, mezoscale and storm scale. Against a different synoptic context, while the element commom to both situations was hailfall - which was more intense and widely spread on 10th June -, the difference consisted in scarce rainfall recorded on 9th June 2012. A series of peculiarities were evident, on mezoscale and storm scale, which determined the evolution of the convective systems on the two days. Thus, both differences (the speed, the tendency) and similarities (high water content on column, high radar reflectivity, etc.) were pointed out in the spatial manifestations of the convective cells.
