The summer of 2026 brought surprising weather conditions to Romania. After a series of hot days in early July, snow fell in the Bucegi Mountains at the height of the season, and the air temperature barely reached 1 C, local media reported on Friday.

On Thursday, June 9, winter sports enthusiasts went snowboarding, the Gandul newspaper wrote, covering the anomaly.

In other parts of Romania, the unstable weather caused damage. A storm struck the Prahova County, including the town of Sinaia, which many Bulgarians prefer as a vacation destination.

Strong gusts of wind blew off roofs, and many streets are strewn with branches from broken trees. There were also reports of a hail storm in the towns of Bragadiru and Calimanesti.
