Managing Bucharest Weather Requires Quality Bucharest Accommodation

Bucharest weather is big part of why that city is one of the world's most lovely. Bucharest is one of the world's great temperate cities, with average maximum temperatures in the height of summer reaching 29 °C (84 °F) – meaning you should look for Bucharest accommodation with air conditioning - and temperatures in the winter often dipping below 0 °C (32 °F) – meaning there should be a modern heating system.

A continental climate, a result of Bucharest being situated on the Romanian plain, is what accounts for the large gap between winter and summer temperatures. It is also what makes Bucharest a lovely seasonal city, complete with changing fall colors and snowy winters.

Romania weather, in general, can be characterized as temperate-to-continental. The climate varies quite a bit throughout the country, with mountainous regions in the north-east being considerably lower than those in both the mild oceanic Black Sea region and the continental inland plain. From Bucharest it is possible to make a short trip to the mild Black Sea resort region.

Bucharest Weather Vs. Paris and New York

The Bucharest climate is quite comparable to some of the most popular temperate climate regions in the world. The climate is very similar in many ways to both Paris and New York. Bucharest and Paris are at their most similar in the summer months. While Paris summers see average temperatures at around 25 °C, slightly cooler than Bucharest, the cooling Romanian wind balances the average July Bucharest high of 29 °C. It makes sense that Bucharest came to be known the "Little Paris of the East."

Bucharest and New York share the same average yearly high temperature (though Bucharest has a lower yearly low temperature). They differ in so far as Bucharest sees more extreme temperature changes. New York's temperature is moderated by the ocean, whereas Bucharest is landlocked.

Bucharest in Comparison to North American Cities

What you will notice about the Bucharest weather is that there is a generally low amount of precipitation. While Bucharest is certainly not situated in the desert, you can expect sunny skies and relatively low humidity through the winter months, interspersed with the odd rain storm. This is in stark contrast to Eastern North American climates, many of which are considered humid-continental and see mid-to-high amounts of precipitation.

Coping with the Weather: What to look for in Bucharest Accommodation

The extremes associated with the Bucharest climate means that you need to have accommodation that is versatile. You should be sure that your apartment or rental home is well insulated and equipped with modern heating to deal with the chilly winters. Conversely, air conditioning is an asset for the often balmy days in July - in the city center during mid-summer the temperatures frequently rise to between 35 °C (95 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
