Bucharest has a climate which is considered to be a “continental climate”, meaning that the winters in the area are somewhat cold and snowy and the summers are warmer and dry.  More information on the specifics of the continental climate is available online at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continen... .

The rainy season begins in the spring in Bucharest.  Rains are steady and frequent until the summer months, when they become more intermittent but also stronger and more intense.  Spring-like rains return again in the fall months.  There are generally a similar number of rainy days in each month throughout the year.  The winter months generally include snow although never so heavy that it is completely unbearable.

Visitors should know that there are some areas of Bucharest which can get very warm during the summer months, especially towards the end of summer.  Bucharest has seen one hundred degree days on a fairly regular basis and some travelers may find the heat to be somewhat uncomfortable.  If possible, planning trips for spring or fall may make the time spent in Bucharest more enjoyable.
