Romania Weather

Romania climate

Romania's climate is transitional-continental, shaped by the arc of the Carpathian Mountains that divide the country into distinct weather zones. Summers are warm across the lowlands with temperatures regularly reaching 30-35°C in Bucharest, while winters bring cold air masses that can push temperatures well below freezing.

The Carpathian Mountains create a significant rain shadow effect, with western Transylvania receiving more precipitation than the eastern plains. Spring arrives gradually with frequent rain showers, while autumn is often dry and mild.

The Black Sea coast around Constanța enjoys a milder maritime influence with warmer winters and cooler summers compared to inland areas.
