Has the climate in Cluj-Napoca changed?

Cluj-Napoca has warmed about 5.5°F since 1971.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Cluj-Napoca's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Cluj-Napoca's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Romania — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 12 fewer freezing nights a year and about 6 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Cluj Napoca, a weather station, about 3 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
