Bacau sits in the Siret river valley in the Moldavia region of eastern Romania, where a continental climate brings cold winters and warm summers with rainfall concentrated in late spring and early summer storms. The Siret and its tributaries can rise fast after heavy upstream rain in the Carpathian foothills. ANM’s national radar network covers this eastern valley district.
