The head of the National Meteorological Administration, Elena Mateescu, spoke about the expected weather changes in the coming days. From a meteorological point of view, days with high temperatures are coming, announces the director of ANM.
Invited to Antena 3, Elena Mateescu talked about what the weather will be like during the mini-holiday on May 1 and Easter.
Head of ANM: “Temperatures at normal values”
“The probability that the temperature regime will be at normal values is indicated,” says the head of the ANM.
“This means 23°C across most of the country, but especially in the south-west. Of course, there will be great interest on the coast, at least for May 1 and 2.
And in the mountains, generally changeable weather. We do not rule out having periods in which we record light showers.
However, the temperature regime, as a whole, in the following days will be between 15 and towards the very end of the week 19°C with 14-15°C sea water temperature.
In the mountains, also possible local showers, but, overall, generally nice weather. The temperature regime will stop somewhere at 16°C, the highest values in the west-southwest part of the country.
We end April with 26-27°C and start May with values of 23°C.
After May 8, we have lower temperatures, precipitation will prevail in a large part of the country. Until then there will be local showers, possible especially on Thursday and Friday in the eastern half of the country, but which will not prevent us from carrying out our activity outdoors, because the temperatures are generous, we are already talking about temperatures above 20-23°C “.
ANM, weather forecast for the week of 29.04.2024-06.05.2024
We are already seeing that the week that includes the mini-holiday and including the Easter holiday period, a week warmer than usual and we are seeing positive temperature deviations of two to 2.5° across the country.
Certainly in the coastal area the average temperatures will stop at 18, 19° on the coast and the highest in the west-northwest part will be 25°C, following as in the south somewhere at 23-24°.
For short periods we are talking about showers in the mountain areas.
ANM, weather forecast for the week of 06.05.2024-13.05.2024
On May 6-13, it is possible to rain throughout the country. It is good that it rains, because the eastern half is affected by drought and it is very important that in this period we talk about precipitation and that it is stored in the soil.
We are talking about temperatures of 22-22°C, we take a deviation depending on the region where we are.
ANM, weather forecast for the week of 13.05.2024-20.05.2024
There are no changes. We are already seeing a slight warming, just one degree, deviation above what we are recording, but as we move towards the second half of May, temperatures are already gaining 2-3° more and it is possible to record values above 25- 26° at the maximum level.
Again, a threshold above what would mean a summer day with a slight tendency to excess, especially in the north, but also locally in the southern part of the country.
Although the month of May is the richest month in precipitation of the spring season, we are still talking about the possibility of registering an increase in temperatures, let’s talk in particular of torrential precipitation and showers because the heating in the second part of May leads us already towards summer and then the convective phenomena begin to appear.
ANM, weather forecast for the week of 20.05.2024-27.05.2024
The current year is breaking records set in previous years. We notice that even the last week of May keeps the trend of increasing temperatures on average and a slight excess in the southern half.
We will certainly have over 25°C and rains only in the southern half of the country”, stated Elena Mateescu, the director of the ANM.
