Tiraspol, on the Dniester river in Moldova’s Transnistria region, receives around 550 mm (about 22 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective storms typical of the wider region’s continental climate. The Dniester has a generally moderate flow near the city, meaning fast-developing local summer thunderstorms are the more routine weather-related hazard rather than large-scale river flooding. Hail is a recognized risk for the surrounding agricultural land during the most intense cells. Because these storms can build quickly, radar tracking remains a practical tool for residents and farmers during the warmer months. Moldova’s State Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
