Climate
Romania has a temperate climate, similar to the northeastern United
States, with four distinct seasons.
Spring is pleasant with cool mornings
and nights and warm days.
Summer is quite warm, with extended sunny days. The hottest areas in
summer are the lowlands in southern and eastern Romania where 100 F is
often reached in July and August. Temperatures are always cooler in the
mountains.
Autumn is dry and cool, with fields and trees producing
colorful foliage, much like New England.
Winters can be cold, especially
in the mountains. While not the rule, abundant snowfalls may occur
throughout the country, from December to mid-March.
There are significant regional differences of the climate between
different regions of Romania.
