This weekend, Romania may experience its first snowfalls in low areas due to a polar vortex affecting the country. Meteorologists predict winter episodes and significant snowfall. November will bring snow to lower regions, while mountain peaks are already covered. Despite above-average temperatures, winter phenomena will intensify in some areas. The alternating mild and cold periods will continue into December, with snow expected even at lower altitudes. The polar vortex, a large area of cold air, typically peaks in January but is weakening earlier this year, potentially due to El Niño. This early disturbance could lead to sudden cold waves in Europe, although the strength and direction of these cold fronts remain uncertain.
