Arad sits on the Mures River near the western border on the edge of the Pannonian Plain, where rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year with less of the sharp continental extremes seen further east. The Mures can rise after heavy rain upstream in the Carpathians. ANM’s national radar network covers this western border district.
