The climate of Bucharest (Romania)
Bucharest is the capital of Romania and is located in the southern
part of the country on the Romanian Plain. The city is located where a
mild Mediterranean climate changes into a cooler continental climate.
The Black Sea only slightly influences the climate here. This is also
why chances of extremes in weather such as low temperatures during the
winter, heat during the summer and snowfall in the period from
November till March are higher here than along the coast. Bucharest is
among the 10 largest cities in Europe and used to be known as Small
Paris because of the elegant though majestic buildings and the
impressive wide streets and beautiful squares. However, nowadays
Bucharest is mainly the economic and industrial center of the country.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
