Summary:Historical weather data from Chronicon Conventus Franciscani Brodii in Savo (1706-1932) consists of numerous entries regarding weather patterns, such as storms, hail, extreme pluvial episodes, drought and cold periods, flooding and periods of Sava river freezing, grape harvests etc. Franciscan monastery in question is situated on the left bank of the Sava river, in a region specific for its microclimate conditions while in the wider region, it is situated at a very sensitive spot between hydrologically active regions of northern Balkan Peninsula and the Alps. The data is analysed and compared to reconstructed Old World Drought Atlas (OWDA) and other available climate data such as temperature, precipitation and consequently flooding episodes. Influence on daily life is considered. Regardless of strong bias in quality of entries Chronicon is a highly valuable source of information.
