The paper refers to certain aspects of risk that have influenced the climate changes of the last two decades, especially after the year 2000. Updated data from the representative meteorological stations belonging to the Banat-Crișana Regional Meteorological Centre are presented. More extensive research was carried out in the case of thermal regime, pluviometric regime, and wind regime, regarding the evolution and deviations of these parameters in western and southwestern Romania compared to the national level. From 1960 until now, average temperatures have increased by up to 1.5°C in the Banat area and by 2-3°C in southern Romania, especially in the summer months. It is also worth noting the anomalies that occurred after 2000. At national level, 2019 was the warmest year. In the period 2012-2022, the most positive thermal anomalies were recorded (0.7-1.9°C), making it the warmest period of 10 consecutive years in the history of meteorological measurements recorded in Romania, with negative effects on soil cover and agriculture.
