Climate change generates not only concern about the climate future of the planet, but also great material damages, in the most diverse areas of social life, causing phenomena that seem to irreversibly change the face of the world and implicitly the general conditions of life. The series of meteorological data (air temperature and atmospheric precipitation), from the Lugoj meteorological station were used to identify and highlight the conditions of occurrence and manifestation of climate changes that took place in the western part of Romania and in the last 60 years, from 1961 until 2020. Climatic elements and phenomena are interconnected to such a great extent that on a global scale it is necessary to recognize a "climate system", governed by its own laws, which determine both its configuration at a given moment and its evolution over time. As a consequence of the global climate changes we are witnessing, it can be observed, analyzing the variability and evolution trend of the thermal regime of the air over the last 60 years, that the evolution trend of the multi annual average temperature at the Lugoj meteorological station is increasing with a value of about 1.7° C. In the context of global climate changes, the distribution of precipitation by seasons in this part of the country where the Lugoj meteorological station is situated, follows quite different trends over the last 60 years, namely: a constant trend is recorded in summer, a trend decreasing in spring and winter is recorded decrease and in the fall there is a more pronounced upward trend, which in total cancels the decreases during the spring and winter.
