Bucharest - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Romania has four seasons, and the climate is similar to DC, both upper and lower ranges. With climate change, winters have become more mild and more droughts occur in summer. It's been years since Bucharest got more than 1 inch of snow in winter. Spring brings flowers. Summers are hot but low humidity. Fall is gorgeous and long and probably the best season. Winter goes from early November until late March and is almost 100% gloomy gray during this time. - Jun 2023
Romania has four seasons, and the climate is similar to mid-Atlantic U.S. Spring comes early and is beautiful. Summers are hot. Autumn is gorgeous and long. Winter goes from late November or early December until early March. I've heard people over-exaggerate about the winters, which are seriously tough in the mountains but fine in Bucharest. Yes, there's snow. Yes, there's ice. There will be a storm here and there, but you won't have to worry about getting frostbite from 5 minutes of exposure or anything like that. Plowing is inconsistent, but it happens. Same with clearing sidewalks on major roads. - Mar 2019

While Romania has a reputation for grey skies, they do get all four seasons: plenty of spring rain, hot summers that can get into the 90s (F) and the warmer temperatures linger into gorgeous fall weather. Of winter does get into the low teens with plenty of snow, especially with the absurd climate change. - Feb 2014

Four seasons and for the most part a good climate. Winters can get cold and dreary but it seems there's less snow due to climate change. Spring, summer and fall are great. Lots of sun, long days, but July can get pretty hot. - Dec 2008
