Summary: The Microclimatological Institute of the József Attila University of Szeged investigated local climate in the Hungarian Bükk mountains in the summer of 1962. The investigations were aimed at finding out the influence of different relief formations on the local climate of high valleys.

Observations were carried out at five stations set up in three different types of valley using instrument shelters equipped with recording apparatuses.

The temperature maxima are influenced by the direction and inclination of the slopes; the form of the valleys influences the values of the minima. The largest amplitudes of the air temperature and air moisture occur in the closed, basinlike valleys. The extreme values, and especially the time of occurrence of the minima as well as the diurnal variation of the three meteorological factors are influenced by the local winds.
