The National Meteorological Administration (ANM) issued, on Tuesday, the updated weather forecast for the next four weeks, between May 25 and June 22.
During the week of May 25 – June 1, the average thermal values will be above those specific to the period throughout the country, especially in the western half, according to meteorologists. The rainfall regime will be deficient at the level of the entire country.
Average temperatures will continue to be above normal in all regions between June 1 and 8. Precipitation amounts will be deficient in the southwest and locally in the west, and in the rest of the country they will be around normal values.
For the week of June 8 – 15, ANM announces that the average air temperature will be slightly above normal, especially in the western half of the territory. The rainfall regime will be deficient in the northern and western regions and locally in the southwestern and central regions.
Between June 15 and 22, meteorologists again estimate temperatures above those specific to the period, especially in the west of the country. The amounts of precipitation will generally be deficient in the western, northern, central and local regions in the southwest, and in the rest of the territory they will be close to the climatological normal of the period.
Romania, on the edge of the “dome of fire”
A “dome of fire” engulfed Western Europe. Its effects have already been felt in countries such as Great Britain, Spain or France. Unusually high temperatures are also expected in the coming days.
In Romania, the weather will be 5-6 degrees Celsius warmer than normal for the period in Romania on Tuesday and Wednesday, and temperatures could reach 33 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, Florinela Georgescu, director of forecasting at ANM, told HotNews.
Florinela Georgescu says that this heat dome is characterized by a high atmospheric pressure. It can be compared to a lid, and thanks to the downward movements, the warm air is kept in the lower layers of the atmosphere. This “fire dome” will persist for several days over many areas of Western Europe and does not favor the formation of precipitation.
