The weather in September in Romania
The weather in September in Romania is still hot and sunny and often as hot as August or July and dryer. The crops are nearly complete and the mad rush ( Maramures style) of getting all the hay in is coming to and end in September, unless the summer has not been good and so they might still be all out in the fields working late to get the hay stacked and into the barns. 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 in Romania in September there as well. Below are the temperatures for Maramures, Bucharest and Cluj Napoca

Clothes recommended for September in Romania
Cloths recommended for September in Romania – T shirt, it is still very much summer weather clothes and a light weight waterproof as it does still occasionally rain up in the mountains. But it still never gets cold in September in the day unless your sleeping out right on the top of Gutia Mountain or your very unlucky, but a fleece or light jacket is a good idea like the picture above taken in the late afternoon in September 2010.
