ANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION IN UNIEJÓW AND THE RELEVANCE OF LOCAL CLIMATE STUDIES FOR A SPA TOWN

Summary/Abstract: The article presents statistical analysis of precipitation data for the period 1980–2015 collected at the Uniejów station belonging to the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management of the National Research Institute. The analysis identified rainfall characteristics in the long term and in annual, seasonal and monthly perspective. The conducted research has shown that precipitation is one of the most variable elements of local climate, not only in terms of quantity, but also periods of their occurrence and duration. Having up-to-date knowledge of seasonal and long-term cyclicality of precipitation, as well as the possibility of significant deviations from average values, seems to be particularly important for a city whose current economic development is mainly dependent on the inflow of tourists seeking recreation and open-air entertainment. Furthermore, only a proper identification of the specific characteristics of the local climate of Uniejów provides the necessary basis for its protection against the effects of anthropogenic impact on the environment in this region.
