Romania is a large country and has different climate zones. On the south eastern border of the country is the Black Sea which can have temperate climates.

Carry cool clothes for summer warm wear for winter. Students can expect to find a variety of affordable brand name clothing in Romania. As with most Eastern European countries the best time to visit is during spring or autumn- April, May, September. During summer the weather is too hot (e.g. up 40 degrees Celsius in sunlight). Summer and winter are the good seasons for visiting the Prahova Valley. Also during summer you can go to the seaside or visit the Danube Delta. Spring is pleasant with cool mornings and nights and warm days. Summer is quite warm, with extended sunny days. The hottest areas in summer are the lowlands in southern and eastern Roma
