Romania and Moldova face unusually warm October weather

Meteorological forecasts for Romania and Moldova indicate unusually warm temperatures through early November. In Romania, the National Meteorological Administration predicts that temperatures will remain above seasonal norms for much of October. While the first week of October may see a precipitation deficit in most regions, rainfall is expected to return to normal levels in subsequent weeks.

Specific regional reports note high temperatures in areas like Sibiu and Dobrogea, with some locations reaching up to 29 degrees Celsius. However, weather shifts are expected toward the end of the month, with potential rain and cooling following atmospheric fronts.

In Moldova, the weather will also be predominantly warm and dry initially, with temperatures reaching up to 25 degrees Celsius before a gradual cooling trend begins. Additionally, Moldova is scheduled to transition to winter time on the night of October 24-25, 2026, moving clocks back by one hour.
