Abstract
The aim of the study is to analyse the maximum daily rainfall during selected synoptic situations
in summer from the period 2011–2013 in Łódź. In this study, data collected from fourteen rain gauges belonging
to the Łódź Infrastructure Company were used. The measurement sites were evenly distributed within
the city and rainfall was recorded every 5 minutes. The study analysed five synoptic situations during which
the observed day totals in the city exceeded 20 mm. The highest rainfall in Łódź occured during days featuring
the passage of weather fronts, mostly cold. The maximum rainfall was observed in the southern or
south-western part of the city. In four cases, south-western cyclonic circulation occurred, and in such conditions
the highest rainfall was recorded in the southern part of the city and diminished towards the north.
This unusual trend may be related to the terrain elevation, as the terrain in Łódź slopes north-east to southwest.
