Weather in Romania has a climate and temperatures of the continental type, rather like that of the steppes of Ukraine, with cold snowy winters perfect for skiing and warm summers with the temperature often up in the 30's. The amount of rain is normally rather low except in the higher parts of the Carpathian. Spring up to around June are the wettest seasons when thunderstorms are most frequent. If your staying in one of our cabanas that have views down the valley the thunderstorms are something else to watch from the safety or your cabanas balcony. In the winter the precipitation is mostly snow. As we are further north than the ski resorts in the south we get more snow and for longer period of time. Skiing in the resort of Cavnic where we take our guests in the winter is normally good from December right through to the beginning of April.
The change from winter conditions to those of summer is often rather abrupt and spring is a short but changeable season in Romania, it just depends on when spring comes. The dirt tracks have normally dried up and become like stone by the end of April. Late summer and autumn are often rather dry and you od get the odd heat wave. We have lived here for four summers now and in general the weather in Romania is hot and sunny most days and very different from the weather in the UK. At least if it is going to rain in Romania in the summer it lets you know, the heat builds up until one day it is very still, the clouds from, the thunder bolts and its all over in a few hours allowing another few weeks of perfect weather to arrive. The weather in Romania in summer is generally warm and sunny with an average of nine to ten hours of sunshine a day. If your coming to stay in one of our villas in the summer you will need sun cream during the day as the temperature can be quite hot and small children can be prone to sunburn when swimming.
