Abstract:
All the thermal extremes that are manifesting today are the result of changes in the so- called ”averages” of recent decades. In this context, the slogan of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ”Small change in average big change in extremes” could be mentioned, the latter manifesting itself regularly in the form of heat waves, practically annually. We believe that the knowledge of the deformation of the so-called climatic norms at regional level and the estimation of the consequences on the intensity of production of extreme climatic phenomena, could contribute to the taking of ef ective measures of adaptation to the new climatic conditions.
