Bro, two days ago we were in Dubai, with the fridge full of beer and the AC cranked to max, and now Mioara tells me to get out the winter jacket! Wednesday, man, it was 35 degrees in the west of the country, in Arad, Timisoara, around there, just when I had to deliver some materials to a client in Berceni and I sat in traffic for two hours. And look how the weather tricked us! The director of ANM, Mrs. Elena Mateescu, said it clearly: from 35 degrees in the west, by Thursday morning we'll be at 20-21. That's a difference of 14-15 degrees in 24 hours, man! I don't know what to say, it's like they're taking us for fools with these changes.
And it's not just the cold, but also atmospheric instability phenomena like the apocalypse is coming. Torrential downpours, lightning, small to medium hail, wind of 50-70 km/h. Go big, because in some places water can fall 30-40 liters per square meter, isolated even 50-60! I saw a few years ago at Fane's terrace, how a rain caught us and soaked us to the bone, and we went inside like rats. That's what's coming now, just when Ioana wanted to go to the green grass with her class.
Now, pay attention to the yellow codes! Wednesday, between 12 and 21, there's a yellow code for atmospheric instability in Arges, Dambovita, Prahova, Buzau, Vrancea, Galati, Tulcea, Ilfov and Bucharest, plus partially Valcea and Ialomita. That's exactly the area where I live and where I have to take the kids to school. The wind blows at 50-70 km/h, and that small, but medium, hail is going to smash our cars. So if you have your 2008 BMW like me, better put it in the garage, because it's no joke.
Thursday morning, between 5 and 10, another yellow code for Satu Mare, Maramures, Salaj, Cluj, Bihor, Arad, Timis, Caras-Severin, Hunedoara and partially Alba. Then, between 10 and 21, it extends to half the country: Maramures, Salaj, Bistrita-Nasaud, Cluj, Mures, Sibiu, Alba, Hunedoara, Gorj, Mehedinti, Dolj, Olt, Teleorman, Dambovita, Arges, Valcea, Brasov, Prahova, Covasna, Harghita, Suceava, Botosani, Iasi, Neamt, Bacau and partially Vrancea, Buzau, Caras-Severin, Timis, Arad and Bihor. That's all of Romania, bro! Only in Teleorman, the barren county, it will rain so much we'll make puddles in the field, because at least there's no one to complain.
In Bucharest, Wednesday will be 30 degrees, but in the afternoon and evening there will be showers of 10-15 l/mp, lightning, wind of 35-40 km/h and small hail. I'm thinking about Brian, who's on TikTok and doesn't look out the window, he'll go out in slippers and catch pneumonia. Thursday, highs of 29-31, but still cloudy. And so, from 35 to 20, it's like we're in England, not Romania!
Now, meteorologists advise us to follow the forecasts, because these big differences can bring severe phenomena. If you ask me, I say let's stay home, drink a beer and let the heatwave and hail fight each other. I'm going to tell Mioara not to buy watermelons anymore because the hail will eat them before we get to them!
