rainfall

About 156 localities in 28 Romanian counties were affected by heavy rainfall and floods from Wednesday until Friday, and four people died following freshets in Alba, Cluj and Suceava counties, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, or IGSU, said Friday.

Hot weather prompted Romania’s weather service to extend a yellow code warning to 22 counties in southeastern and western Romania, where temperatures of up to 36 degrees Celsius, rainfall and windstorm are expected until Sunday evening.
