“…Great progress was achieved, for instance, after the discovery of a great number of previously unknown weather diaries, its statistical analysis, graphical presentation on the basis of weather symbols and utilisation for assessing new series of indices (e.g. Tyrrell, 1995;Telelis, 1998;Kotyza, 1996, 1999;Pfister et al, 1999c;Börngen and Tetzlaff, 2000;Bokwa et al, 2001;Brázdil and Kiss, 2001;Limanówka, 2001). These daily records may be used effectively not only for detailed description of weather patterns for specific occasions in the past, but also for deriving monthly temperature and precipitation indices.…”

Abstract. This paper discusses the state of European research in historical climatology. This field of science and an overview of its development are described in detail. Special attention is given to the documentary evidence used for data sources, including its drawbacks and advantages. Further, methods and significant results of historical-climatological research, mainly achieved since 1990, are presented. The main focus concentrates on data, methods, definitions of the "Medieval Warm Period" and the "Little Ice Age", synoptic interpretation of past climates, climatic anomalies and natural disasters, and the vulnerability of economies and societies to climate as well as images and social representations of past weather and climate. The potential of historical climatology for climate modelling research is discussed briefly. Research perspectives in historical climatology are formulated with reference to data, methods, interdisciplinarity and impacts.
