Shumen sits below the Shumen Plateau in northeastern Bulgaria, where the elevated terrain nearby creates somewhat more rainfall than the flatter Dobruja region to the east. Winters bring occasional snow, while summer rain tends to arrive in short, intense thunderstorms. NIMH’s national radar network monitors this transitional zone between the plateau and the Danubian lowlands.
