Climate and Weather in Bucharest, Romania

The climate of Bucharest

What is the capital of Romania? Bucharest (English: Bucharest, Romanian: București) is the capital of Romania and is located in the south of the country, in the Lower Danube Plain. The city lies on the dividing line between a mild Mediterranean climate and a cooler continental climate. The influence of the Black Sea is still there, but less present than along the coast of Romania. The chance of extreme weather conditions, such as cold in winter, heat in summer and heavy snowfall in the period November to March, is therefore slightly greater here than along the coast. See abbreviations for Bucharest.

Bucharest is one of the ten largest cities in Europe and used to be called “Little Paris” because of its elegant yet stately buildings and impressive wide streets and beautiful squares. Some of this can still be seen, but today Bucharest is mainly the economic and industrial center of the country.
