MoldovaClimate
Moldova's climate is moderately continental: the
summers are
warm and long, with temperatures averaging about 20°C, and
the
winters are relatively mild and dry, with January
temperatures
averaging -4°C. Annual rainfall, which ranges from around
600
millimeters in the north to 400 millimeters in the south,
can
vary greatly; long dry spells are not unusual. The
heaviest
rainfall occurs in early summer and again in October;
heavy
showers and thunderstorms are common. Because of the
irregular
terrain, heavy summer rains often cause erosion and river
silting.
