Meteorologists from ANM predict the first snowfalls in low areas of central Romania this weekend, not just in the mountains. A polar vortex is expected to hit the country around Christmas, bringing cold and snow. November will see slightly higher temperatures than usual, but also real winter episodes. December may bring a significant snow layer for the holidays, with forecasts indicating above-normal temperatures but potential cold spells and consistent snowfall. January and February 2027 are expected to be warmer than usual, with January possibly seeing temperatures 1-2 degrees Celsius above normal and excess precipitation in certain regions. Snow is also anticipated in Bucharest on November 23 and 24, 2026, as temperatures drop further into winter.
