Abstract
This research work evaluates the thunderstorm occurrence and associated flight hazards in the southern part of Romania. This study focused on the monthly and annual occurrence, the trend of this flight hazard during the past six years. The statistical analyses employed were Simple and Multiple bar charts and correlations. It was observed from the analysis that thunderstorms occur mostly between March and October with an increasing trend of 71% for 2010 and 2014, and with a lower rate, between 10%-33% for 2011, 2012 and 2015, probably associated with the global warming. The monthly peak was registered in June, but August also became a month with a high probability of thunderstorm formation. A significant decrease with 28%-89% was also revealed for September. The study concluded that the thunderstorms occurrence in the studied area has significantly increased and it has more impact on delays than on diversions, but it is not the root cause of any incident/accident.
