The Dăbuleni viticultural centre differs from other centres in Oltenia by the nature of the ecological factors. Located near the extreme south of Romania, it is characterized by sandy soils, high temperatures and a reduced rainfall regime. Under these conditions, viticulture acquires a series of particularities about culture technology and the choice of varieties for planting. All of these can be influenced by climate change. Meteorological data provided by the Research and Development Station for Plant Culture on sandy soils in Dăbuleni (Romania) for 10 years were interpreted to show the current viticultural climate and its trend. For this, several statistical indices were calculated (e.g. arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation), the Martonne aridity index was calculated, and the climagram of the period was made. The results were included in tables and represented graphically and show the evolution of the climate that characterizes viticulture on sands, in the Oltenia region (Romania).
