Climate Chart of Bucharest, Romania

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest in January at -0.3 °C and highest in August at 24.5 °C. These figures describe the average temperature for each month, not daytime maximums, so they should not be read as the temperature visitors will experience at every hour. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 12.5 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in June at 3.03 mm/day, and its lowest in January at 0.72 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly totals, and neither figure tells how often rain falls or whether a particular day will be wet. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 1.62 mm/day, which provides an overview but does not describe the timing or frequency of individual showers.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in July at 12.71 hours/day and lowest in December at 4.63 hours/day. These averages help distinguish months by typical sunshine duration, but sunshine hours are not the same as daylight length. The unweighted mean across monthly mean daily sunshine durations is 8.50 hours/day; it is a broad summary, not a promise of sunshine on any given day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in January at 5.92 mm/day. This records an average amount, not the number of snowy days, snow depth or duration of snow cover, and it cannot establish whether conditions are suitable for skiing. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily snowfall figures is 1.31 mm/day; it summarizes the supplied monthly averages rather than indicating how snowfall is distributed across individual days.
