Cluj-Napoca, in Romania’s Transylvania region, receives around 600 mm (about 24 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective storms intensified somewhat by the surrounding hills of the Transylvanian plateau. The hillier terrain compared with Bucharest’s flat plain means rainfall can vary more sharply between neighborhoods depending on elevation and exposure. Hail is a recognized risk for the region’s agriculture during the most intense summer cells. Because local terrain creates such variation in where the heaviest rain actually falls, radar gives a clearer picture than a single regional forecast for the wider Transylvanian area. Romania’s National Meteorological Administration operates the national radar network.
