Field notes
Continental (Transylvanian) — meaningfully colder than Bucharest because of the Transylvanian-basin altitude (415m). Winter (December–February, -3 to -1°C average) brings continuous snow accumulation; summer (June–August, 17–19°C average) is mild and warm. Spring and summer are the cleanest working windows.
