Long-term variation of hourly air temperature obtained from Open Weather, Romania, was analysed in the center of Bucharest city, over a period of 40 years (1980-2020). A computer program to extract summer heatwaves within the study period was written. Analysing the results an extreme heatwave scenario has been defined within the context of climate change and urban influence, to be used in future air and water temperature models.
