Targu Jiu sits on the Jiu River where the southern Carpathians descend into the Oltenia plain, a transitional setting that brings more rainfall than the flat plain further south and where the Jiu can rise fast after heavy mountain rain. ANM’s national radar network covers this Carpathian-plain transition district.
