The National Meteorological Administration released a weather advisory and two yellow warnings for strong winds across Romania. Wind gusts of up to 70 km/h are forecast for Dobrogea, the southern half of Moldavia and eastern Muntenia, with lower gusts of 45-55 km/h expected in other parts of the country. Mountainous zones, especially in the Banat, Southern Carpathians and Curvature Carpathians, may experience gusts between 60 and 80 km/h and receive mixed rain, sleet and snowfall at elevations above 1,500 meters.
Moderate rain will continue in much of Oltenia and Dobrogea, accumulating 10-20 liters per square meter in limited areas. The first yellow warning began in the morning and will remain active for about a day, followed by a second warning covering the same wind intensities in the same regions later on.
