Because of its position on the southeastern portion of the [[Europe]]an continent, Romania has a climate that is generally [[Continental climate|continental]]. Climatic conditions are somewhat modified by the country's varied relief. The Carpathians serve as a barrier to Atlantic [[air mass]]es, restricting their oceanic influences to the west and center of the country, where they make for milder winters and heavier [[rain]]fall. The mountains also block the continental influences of the vast plain to the north in Ukraine, which bring frosty winters and less rain to the south and southeast. In the extreme southeast, Mediterranean influences offer a milder, maritime climate. The average annual temperature is {{convert|11|°C|°F|1}} in the south and {{convert|8|°C|°F|1}} in the north. In Bucharest, the temperature ranges from {{convert|-29|°C|°F|1}} in January to {{convert|29|°C|°F|1}} in July, with average temperatures of {{convert|-3|°C|°F|1}} in January and {{convert|23|°C|°F|1}} in July. Rainfall, although adequate throughout the country, decreases from west to east and from mountains to plains. Some mountainous areas receive more than {{convert|1010|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} of precipitation each year. Annual [[precipitation]] averages about {{convert|635|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} in central Transylvania, {{convert|521|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} at Iași in Moldavia, and only {{convert|381|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} at Constanța on the Black Sea.

Temperate; cold, cloudy [[winter]]s with frequent snow and fog; sunny summers with frequent showers and thunderstorms. Winters generally are from November to March. The [[Spring (season)|springs]] are short, occasionally turning right into summer. [[Summer]] lasts from May to August. They have a prolonged [[Autumn]], from September to November. The average January temperature is {{convert|34|°F|°C|1}} and the average July temperature is {{convert|69|°F|°C|1}}.
