Using data from 16 meteorological stations we have analysed the frequency and intensity of storms (≥20 m/s) in the Ukrainian Carpathians from 1945 to 1999. 6631 storms were recorded in this region, 60 percent of them at mountain tops. The number of storms at each station varied greatly from one year to the other. In 1996 an annual maximum of 52 storms at one station was recorded. In general, storm frequency fluctuated and showed cyclical character. It did neither increase nor decrease over these years. 60 percent of the storms occurred between October and March. In summer only few storms occurred in this mountain region. 55 percent of the storms showed maximum wind speeds between 20.0 and 24.9 m/s. there was a total of 413 storms (6.2 %) with wind speeds of 40 m/s or more. 88 percent of them occurred in winter. Winter storms usually lasted longer than summer storms.
