According to Sandu, even though rain will fall below the normal average, Romania will not face a severe drought as compared to last year. Moreover, he added that the average temperature will exceed the average by two or three degrees Celsius but periods with high temperatures will not last too long.
Sandu added that temperatures will exceed 40 degrees Celsius but the situation will not be so severe as it did last year.
