Sunday, June 7Sunday, June 7Nearly the whole of Romania was placed under yellow weather warnings on Saturday as torrential rain, thunderstorms, hail and gusts of up to 70 km/h swept across the country. The National Meteorological Administration (ANM) issued three successive yellow alerts covering almost every county, warning that local rainfall could exceed 40 litres per square metre by evening. Bucharest is also under alert, with forecasters predicting unstable conditions to persist into Sunday when a new warning takes effect at noon.
The warnings follow days of heavy precipitation that have already disrupted transport and prompted local authorities to clear drains and issue safety advice. Meteorologists say the storms are driven by a slow-moving Atlantic front that is drawing warm, moist air over the Balkans. “We are seeing classic summer instability,” said ANM spokesperson Elena Vasilescu. “The combination of heat and humidity is producing intense convective cells that can drop large hailstones and produce local flash floods.” She added that the pattern is expected to continue into next week, though with slightly lower intensity.
In the capital, emergency services reported fallen trees and minor flooding on the city’s outer ring road. Public transport operator Metrorex advised passengers to allow extra time, while the water company said it was monitoring pumping stations for capacity. Similar scenes were reported in Cluj, Iași and Timișoara, where fire brigades responded to calls for roof damage and street flooding.
The unsettled weather contrasts with conditions elsewhere in Europe. Slovakia is enjoying a warmer weekend with only scattered showers and highs of 28 °C, while parts of Belgium and Germany are also seeing mixed conditions with sunshine and isolated thunderstorms. Sweden’s national day on Sunday is expected to bring a mix of sun and cloud, with the warmest weather in Skåne and Halland.
Romanian officials have urged the public to stay indoors during peak storm hours, avoid non-essential travel and secure loose objects outdoors. The ANM’s Vasilescu noted that while yellow alerts indicate low-to-moderate risk, the cumulative effect of repeated storms can still pose hazards. “People should treat each warning seriously,” she said. “Even moderate rainfall over a short period can overwhelm drainage systems in urban areas.”
Forecasters will issue updated bulletins on Sunday morning as the current front gradually drifts eastward. For now, the message is clear: Romania’s summer has arrived with a storm.
