Rain and sun alternate regularly. The temperature fluctuates between 8 and 15 degrees, not very cold, but not hot either. So bring sun clothes as well as a raincoat!
ElineMostly sunny, alternating rainy days with some cold. Recommended if you like moderate, mild spring weather.
Alida BosselaarNovember in Moldova was unpredictable. Temperatures varied widely, from fairly warm to downright cold, which made planning outdoor activities difficult. The weather was not ideal, but the beautiful fall colors made up for a lot.
Jesse BeeftinkThere were days with wonderfully sunny temperatures, punctuated by showers. A sweater is recommended for the evening. So expect a mix of different weather conditions.
YasminThe temperature fluctuated between zero and five degrees. During the day, the sun shone occasionally, but the winter cold prevailed. Therefore, a warm coat is necessary.
MarloesSeveral showers fell, but they brought a welcome coolness. An umbrella is a necessity.
Willem WalburgJuly was a good time to visit Moldova. The temperature was pleasant, between 20° and 30°. Although there were a few hot days, there was a nice cool breeze from time to time. Sometimes it rained, but that didn't bother us.
