#folk meteorology

• Agostru — A rare regional or archaic Romanian phonetic variant referring to the 'austru', a dry southwest wind prominent in folk meteorology. It is often associated with the scorching, crop-withering summer drafts or the heavy blizzards of winter, occasionally blending in local subdialects with agricultural references to the month of August.
• Harsh winter year — A rare or regional compound term used in old rural communities to designate a year characterized by extreme weather conditions during winter, or a year in which the cold season extended abnormally, affecting agricultural cycles; a year with a harsh and frosty winter. It reflects the traditional way of classifying time in relation to natural phenomena.
• Hot summer year — A rare or regional compound term found in old farming communities; it designates a year characterized by an extremely long, dry, and hot summer, which directly influenced the crop schedule and resource storage; a year with a scorching summer. It is part of the traditional empirical vocabulary used to mark seasonal anomalies.
