Romania is a country almost completely surrounded by land in Europe.  It has a short coast on the Black Sea, on the south of the river Danube.  Romania borders with Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, Ukraine and Moldova.

Romania weather is characterized as continental, similar to that of the steppes of Ukraine, with warm summers and cold, snowy winters.  The east and south parts of Romania are low-lying and quite flat, whereas central and west Romania consist of the Carpathian Mountains with ridges and peaks rising from 1,800 m.

Rainfall is usually relatively low, with the higher parts of the Carpathian Mountains being an exception.  The wettest seasons are normally spring and winter, as that is the time when frequent thunderstorms occur.  However, most of winter’s precipitation is snow.  Snow covers the ground for approximately 30 to 50 days a year at low levels and can remain for up to 100 days in the mountains.

Romania weather during winter is quite cold, as the Danube and other rivers inland usually freeze.  The weather in Romania is a bit milder along the coast of the Black Sea. The weather conditions change from winter to summer quite abruptly, and thus, spring is a short and variable season in Romania. The driest periods are late summer and autumn.

Romania weather can be changeable throughout the year and there are significant variations from one year to another.  During dry summers, the north and east can suffer from drought as hot and dry winds blow from the east.  Whereas in winter, severe cold winds from the same region may strike the country. 

Summers in Romania are usually warm and sunny, with an average of 9 to 10 hours of sunlight during a day.  Winter sunshine is rather low, with an average of only 2 to 3 hours of sunlight in a day.
