The weather in November in Romania
The weather in November in Romania has definitely moved from the warm summer days and is normally quite cold. It can snow in November but it is not common. In 2010 it was still 25 degrees in Bucharest in mid November. I know, I was there. I can rain in November and be cold, it all depends as the weather in Romania in November is a time of change from summer to winter. If you come and visit us on one of our Transylvania Tours or book one of our villas direct you will visit other parts of Romania as well as Maramures so I have put the details of the weather and daily temperatures in Romania in November there as well. Below are the temperatures for Maramures, Bucharest and Cluj Napoca

Weather in Maramures in November can still be very nice, with cool days, great for walking the mountains and crystal clear vision out over the Carpathians that stretch into the Ukrainian.

The season is changing and winter is on its way.It’s a quite time in Breb and a good time to come to meet locals at home if the weather is not so good. Yet, it can still be sunny and great for walking with crystal clear views out over the mountains and not another tourist in site 🙂

Weather in Cluj Napoca in November
Weather in Cluj Napoca in November is not a lot to right home about. It rains a lot less than it does in the UK in November but weather in Romanian in November in general is flat and cold. Saying that is was warm and sunny for most of November in 2010 when this was written, so global warming seems be befitting this part of the world. Still bring your coats and water proof.
Average temperature in November in Cluj Napoca is 5 degrees in the day but it is often a lot warmer than this around lunch time, the time you come out of the airport and a low of 0 degrees at night.
Weather in Bucharest in November
Weather in Bucharest in November all depends on the weather in Romania in November… I know that sounds a bit dump, but in 2010 it was 25 degrees. The year before there was half a meter of snow. So it all depends. If your looking to come to visit and stay in our villas in Breb in November and you booking a short time before, it is worth contacting us to see what the weather is like.
Average temperature during November in Bucharest is 6 degrees during the day and a low of -1 degrees at night but my experience of Bucharest was much warmer than this in November having lived her all November in 2010. But I think I might have been lucky, as people say it is normally cold and grey in November. So come for the nightlife, the traditions and hospitality in November and not the weather.
