The transition from extreme heat to volatile autumn weather continues across Central, Southeast, and Southern Europe. A powerful Mediterranean cyclone, named Agneta, is moving across the Balkan Peninsula, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and snow. In Romania, the National Meteorological Administration (ANM) has issued orange and yellow alerts. Significant impacts have been reported in Bucharest and Ilfov, where strong winds caused trees to fall, damaged vehicles, and tore off roofs and advertising signs. In the coastal region of Constanța, orange alerts are in effect, with rainfall potentially exceeding 90 liters per square meter. Extreme weather has led to the suspension of maritime operations in several Romanian ports, including Constanța Nord, Sud, Midia, and Mangalia. In mountainous areas, heavy snowfall has been recorded at altitudes above 1,700 meters, leading mountain rescuers to close hiking trails in the Bucegi Mountains. The cyclone has also triggered red and orange alerts in Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria, with risks of flash floods. ~~In Albania, a shift in atmospheric conditions has brought cooler, more humid air, with temperatures dropping and light rain~~ Meteorologists warn that this unstable pattern is expected ~~in northern and northeastern regions.~~ to persist through November 4.
