Romania weather forecast: temperatures to hit 34°C by June 22, showers likely in second half of period

The National Meteorological Administration’s two-week outlook (15–28 June) shows steadily rising temperatures across all regions, with average maximums reaching 34°C in the west before intermittent showers become more intense in the final week.

Romania’s National Meteorological Administration (ANM) published its regional forecast for 15–28 June on Monday, projecting a clear warming trend through 22 June followed by lighter oscillations and an elevated chance of rain.

Warming builds to a June 22 peak

Across the country, average daytime highs will climb from approximately 22–23°C at the start of the period to between 31°C and 34°C by 21–22 June. Nighttime lows are expected to follow a similar curve, moving from 9–11°C early in the forecast to 14–18°C around the peak warmth. The most pronounced heat is reserved for the western regions.

Key forecast milestones (15–28 June 2026)
  1. ANM issues the two-week forecast; warming begins across the country.
  2. Higher probability of showers, especially in the west and centre.
  3. Temperature peak: averages reach 34°C in Banat and Crișana, 31–33°C elsewhere.
  4. Showers become more widespread and intense across most regions.
  5. Forecast period ends; maximums still above 28°C in many lowland areas.

Western regions lead the temperature surge

Banat and Crișana are forecast to record the highest averages, with maximums reaching 34°C by the start of the second week. Maramureș will not be far behind at 33°C, while Transylvania will settle at 31–32°C. Moldova is expected to peak at 31°C, and the Black Sea-adjacent Dobrogea will see slightly more moderate highs between 26°C and 30°C across the period.

Showers punctuate the fortnight

Rain is forecast to appear in almost every region throughout the 14-day window. ANM notes that the first week will bring mostly light and patchy showers, but the probability of heavier, more extensive rainfall increases markedly on 18 June and again from 22–23 June onward. The second half of the forecast, particularly after 23 June, is expected to see showers that are both more widespread and more intense, especially in Transylvania, Maramureș, and Moldova.

Beyond the peak

After 22 June, temperature averages will oscillate within a narrower band. Banat and Crișana, for example, should see maximums holding between 30°C and 33°C, while minima settle between 14°C and 17°C. In Transylvania the post-peak cooling is sharper, with maximums dropping to 11–14°C by the final days. Moldova’s maximums will ease to 25–29°C, with minima fluctuating between 13°C and 16°C. Dobrogea is forecast to remain relatively stable, with maximums staying between 26°C and 30°C throughout.
