Because of its position on the southeastern portion of the European continent, Romania has a climate which ranges from temperate to continental. Climatic conditions are somewhat modified by the country's varied topography. The Carpathians serve as a barrier to Atlantic air masses, limiting their oceanic influences to the west and center of the country (Transilvania, Banat and Maramureș), which have milder winters and heavier rainfalls as a result. The mountains also block the continental influences of the vast plain to the north in the Ukraine, which results in frosty winters and less rain to the south and southeast. In the extreme southeast, Black Sea influences offer a milder, maritime climate. The average annual temperature is in the south and middle-south and in northeast. In Bucharest, the temperature ranges from average low in January to average high in July and August, with average temperatures of in January and in July and August. Rainfall, although adequate throughout the country, decreases from west to east and from mountains to plains. Some mountainous areas receive more than of precipitation each year. Annual precipitation averages about in central Transylvania, at Iaşi in Moldavia, and only at Constanţa on the Black Sea. Owing to its distance from the open sea, Romania has a continental climate. Summers are generally very warm to hot, with average maxima in Bucharest being around , with temperatures over not unknown in the lower-lying areas of the country. Minima in Bucharest and other lower-lying areas are around , but at higher altitudes both maxima and minima decline considerably. Winters are quite cold, with average highs even in lower-lying areas being no more than and below in the highest mountains, where some areas of permafrost occur on the highest peaks. Precipitation is generally modest, averaging over only on the highest western mountains - much of it falling as snow which allows for an extensive skiing industry. In the delta of the Danube, rainfall is very low, averaging only around per year, whilst in the more westerly lowland like Bucharest it is around . ==Records== The absolute minimum temperature was , registered near Brașov in 1942. The absolute maximum temperature was , recorded at Ion Sion, Brăila County in 1951. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Climate of Romania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
