Romania is these days
\nseeing extreme weather conditions. While its eastern regions are being affected
\nby heavy rains, its western part is under a heatwave with soaring temperatures of
\n40 degrees centigrade. According to meteorologists, all the regions in Romania will
\nthis week be in for higher temperatures and humidity indexes, expected to make
\nthe heatwave more difficult to cope with.

Romanians must also brace
\nthemselves for other extreme weather phenomena, such as gale-force winds and
\nthunderstorms. Experts believe the torrential rains in the past days were
\ncreated by the cyclone that formed in the Black Sea, a natural phenomenon,
\nwhich initially seemed to have withdrawn, but eventually came back with renewed
\nstrength affecting the country’s eastern regions with a series of powerful
\nthunderstorms and heavy downpours. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The sky was mainly
\novercast in the country’s capital city, which is quite unusual for this time of
\nthe year. Yellow and orange alerts for heavy rainfalls, thunderstorms and hail
\nhave been issued for the entire territory as well as flood warnings for almost
\nall rivers in the country but those in the west and north-west. <\/p>\n

Roads and households have
\nbeen affected by the latest flooding in several Romanian regions, where the
\nauthorities had to intervene. Scores of towns and villages across Romania are
\nbearing the brunt of the latest extreme weather conditions, which have caused
\nmaterial and human loss. Nowcasting alerts have been issued in the past days in
\nan attempt to prevent and diminish the effects of the extreme weather affecting
\nthis country. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meteorologists believe
\nthat extreme weather phenomena are to continue this week as well, mainly in the
\nafternoons and evenings, when heavy downpours, thunderstorms and even hail are
\nalso expected. According to the latest weather forecasts, a heatwave is to hit
\nthe country on Thursday and Friday, when most of its regions are going to face
\nhigher discomfort indexes. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Experts believe this
\nsummer Romania is going to see more extreme weather with unsettled skies, heavy
\ndownpours and powerful thunderstorms. Statistically speaking this June even stands
\nchances to be among the months with the most significant amount of rainfalls in
\nthe past 50 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
There are clear signs
\nthat the weather, as we know it, is changing not only in our country but also
\nin Europe. The French authorities have reported significant flooding in some
\nregions whereas northern Germany has been affected by extremely hot
\ntemperatures. <\/p>\n
