Director of the National Meteorological Service Elena Mateescu explained that the extreme phenomena are caused by cyclonic activity over the Black Sea, which brings downpours, wind gusts up to 50-70 km/h, and wet snow in the mountains with gusts up to 90 km/h and a new layer of snow 10-30 cm. According to her, the Southern Carpathians in Romania at altitudes above 1700 m will be particularly dangerous, where blizzards and a stable snow cover are expected.
This time, it is about the southeastern part of the country, where the consequences of the cyclone formed in the Mediterranean Sea will be particularly felt due to heavy rains.
The authorities urge the public to observe safety measures, avoid traveling to mountainous areas, and carefully monitor weather forecast updates.
