The climate of Bucharest is continental, with typical hot, dry summers and extremely cold winters. In winter temperatures in Bucharest often drop well below zero, exacerbated by the bitter winds that are a result of the city's situation on the Romanian Plain. Summers in Bucharest are generally warm with low humidity, but there are odd heatwaves and violent rainstorms. The wettest time of year in Bucharest is spring and autumn, when rainfall is gentler but more frequent than in summer.
