Heat Index
Heat Index data was reported at 0.000 Day in 2020. This stayed constant from the previous number of 0.000 Day for 2019. Heat Index data is updated yearly, averaging 0.000 Day from Dec 1970 (Median) to 2020, with 51 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 0.010 Day in 2012 and a record low of 0.000 Day in 2020. Heat Index data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Romania – Table RO.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Climate Risk. Total count of days per year where the daily mean Heat Index rose above 35°C. A Heat Index is a measure of how hot it feels once humidity is factored in with air temperature.;World Bank, Climate Change Knowledge Portal. https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org;;

Mean Drought Index
Mean Drought Index data was reported at 0.136 NA in 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of -0.984 NA for 2020. Mean Drought Index data is updated yearly, averaging 0.131 NA from Dec 1960 (Median) to 2021, with 62 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1.970 NA in 1980 and a record low of -2.433 NA in 2000. Mean Drought Index data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Romania – Table RO.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Climate Risk. The SPEI fulfills the requirements of a drought index since its multi-scalar character enables it to be used by different scientific disciplines to detect, monitor, and analyze droughts. Like the sc-PDSI and the SPI, the SPEI can measure drought severity according to its intensity and duration, and can identify the onset and end of drought episodes. The SPEI allows comparison of drought severity through time and space, since it can be calculated over a wide range of climates, as can the SPI.;Global SPEI database (SPEIbase). https://spei.csic.es/database.html;;
