The climate of the Southern Carpathians (Romania)
The southern Carpathians are a mountain range in Romania. With altitudes up to 2,500 meters this mountain range forms the natural border between the mild eastern part of Romania and the western part of the country where extremes in weather are not uncommon. The Southern Carpathians have cold and snowy winters making this an ideal winter sports area. However, large areas of this mountain range are unsuitable for winter sports because of the rugged landscape and the primeval forests making it impossible to go skiing. The most popular winter sports areas are: Poiana Brasov, Predeal, SInaia and the Maramures.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
