Having grown up in Romania, I remember the seasons and general climate being quite different just ~30 years ago, with much colder winters (and lots of snow) and much milder summer where the ~40C heat waves would last just a couple of days in the summer, not weeks on end.
- vixen99 5y agoDo you happen to have a link that points to recorded weather data for the last century that puts numbers alongside your undoubted anecdotal experience? As noted in other comments, here in Transylvania I've seen no such thing. Indeed hot weather seems to have been in increasingly short supply over the past decade or so.
- lucian1900 5y agoSome areas are less affected than others. I grew up in Banat, where I definitely noticed that trend. Every winter came with snow to swim in and 40+ summers were rare, now it's the opposite.

- dandarie 5y agoI can attest winters were definitely colder in the Moldavian part. I remember two meters of snow, digging tunnels through it and such. And I remember four distinct seasons. Now it's more like a long summer, a long autumn, and short spring and winter.
