Craiova sits on the Oltenia Plain in southwestern Romania, where a continental climate brings hot, comparatively dry summers and rainfall concentrated in spring and early-summer thunderstorms. The flat plain terrain around the city drains gradually, though intense convective storms can still cause localized urban flooding. ANM radar coverage extends across the Oltenia plain to Craiova.
