PLUVIOMETRIC HAZARDS IN THE RAINY SUMMER OF 2014 IN OLTENIA

Abstract

Pluviometric hazards in the rainy summer of 2014 in Oltenia. After the rainy spring of 2014, marked by five waves of pouring rains which caused floods and water bogging on crops, the rainy period also continued in the summer months reaching its peak in July. Air temperature which has been cool in some interval, but close to normal led to some gradual delays in June and July, and only in August some gradual enforcements brought the crops to a normal stage. The most intense rainfall of the summer was registered in the interval 27-31 July 2014 . The analysis of climatic conditions in the south-west of Romania in the summer of 2014 is a continuation of some extended studies on climate variability. The paper is useful to specialists, doctoral candidates and master graduates and to all people interested in the climate’s evolution.
