  Abstract:  The main goal of this study is the analysis of long-term precipitations variability in Cluj-Napoca. The analysis is based on time series of climatic data from Cluj-Napoca weather station with a series of 100 year (1907 - 2006). The non-parametric tests to determine temporal trends in climatic data sets are used. The evolution of the observed parameter was complemented by the analysis of the secular trend. The definition of extreme precipitation events is based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The period for calculating the SPI values was 48 months. The parametric analysis of long-term drought and wet events proves that the greatest part of the major and medium intensity events are associated with the same periods of pluvial deficit or excess.
