Relative atmospheric humidity and major related risk phenomena in Alba Iulia – Turda Depression. The local geographical characteristics of the Alba Iulia – Turda Depression, which benefits from a Foehn regime, show many specific aspects in the time and space variation of relative air humidity. The study followed the annual and monthly mean and maximum and minimum annual values of relative air humidity, the frequency of days with different relative humidity characteristics (r) ≥ 80% at 1.00 hr. p.m., ≤ 50%, ≤ 30%at one of the observation hours. The results obtained have both a theoretical and practical relevance, describing the conditions in which these phenomena may have a negative influence both on people’s health and economic activities.
