Ringed by the Carpathian Mountains, Brasov sees noticeably more rainfall and snow than the Romanian plains thanks to its elevated, mountain-enclosed position, with orographic showers common as moist air is forced up the surrounding slopes. Its historic centre sits in a bowl where sudden mountain storms can bring rapid, locally heavy rain. Romania National Meteorological Administration, ANM, covers the Carpathian bend region with dedicated radar.
