THE HEAT WAVE IN THE WESTERN PLAIN OF ROMANIA BETWEEN THE 6TH AND 8TH JULY 2015

Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper presents a case study on the heat wave produced in western Romania, between the 6th and 8th July 2015. In this period, a mass of hot and dry air, originating in North Africa, invaded southern, central and south-eastern Europe. In our country, the heat wave initially affected the western part (July 6th), then the entire territory of the country (July 7th and 8th). On July 9th, the air mass of tropical origin began to slightly retreat, being replaced by a mass of cold and moist air, which moved from the northwest of Europe. In the Western Plain, the heat and thermal discomfort were felt most strongly on the days of July 7th and 8th, 2015. For the 8th July, the hottest day, ANM issued red code warning for two counties (Arad and Bihor), a warning rarely given by this authority. Of all Romanian regions, most affected by the heat were the western and south-western ones, as well as small areas of Moldavia. The heat was most intense in the counties of Arad, Bihor, Timis (the western sector), Mehedinţi, Botosani and Bacău.
