Summary/Abstract: Among the priceless documents from the archives of the Romanian Orthodox Parish of Gurasada, can be found the photocopy of a brief but valuable parochial chronicle dating back to the period between 1928 and 1940: “Parochial chronicle from the Gr[eek-]Or[thodox] Parish of Gurasada”. Its text, already published, is accompanied by a formerly unknown weather report which includes in detail all the local weather conditions between 1 January 1936 and 9 June 1940. This priceless weather report, entitled “The course of the weather”, was tirelessly kept by Father Romul Iacob, who was the priest of the parish from the village of Gurasada (located in the Hunedoara County) for almost five decades. The value of the above-mentioned manuscript has been recognized and both its content and form have been thoroughly studied.
