Temperature is one of the most controversial parameters studied in fruit-growing technologies, considering the direct influence on each growing stage of the plant and not only. Climate change has led to strategies and specific measures for managing extreme events in recent years. More international meteo stations have continuous data specific to a larger or delimited area. However, modern technologies require more accurate records that are as close as possible to the crop, giving a trend to have in each specific point local meteo stations. This study compares the parameters recorded by the international/national and local meteo stations for a specific orchard in Bucharest, Romania. Dynamics of chilling hours, chilling portions, and Growing degree hours are also presented.
