Погода: Сибиу, май

May in Brasov is close to summer by the end of the month, with showers a real possibility throughout, and the forum's hiking caveat is about altitude: there will still be snow above about 2,000m, though plenty of trails do not go that high - Postavaru sits right above the city, with Bucegi from Busteni or Sinaia and Piatra Craiului from Zarnesti a short drive away. Two crowd notes. The extended May Day weekend at the start of the month fills the area and the roads. And Bran is described as increasingly tacky and packed at weekends, with the villages around it - Magura, Pestera, Sirnea - the better base. The record: 19.9C days, 6.9C nights, 12.9 precipitation days carrying 91.3mm, 11 hours of sun.

Forum posters cite mid-March temperatures across Romania typically ranging 5-15C, with daytime highs occasionally reaching 20C depending on region and exact timing, and snowfall relatively unlikely at lower elevations outside the mountains, though a trip up into the mountains themselves in early March is likely to still be genuinely cold. One visitor's March 2022 Sibiu trip specifically described walking through residential streets and a large park dusted with a fine, recent snowfall. Posters recommend layered clothing given how much temperatures can vary within the same day and across different parts of Transylvania. Posters generally rate March as a workable, if still cool and occasionally snow-dusted, time to visit Sibiu, with the medieval old town and Astra open-air museum both viable regardless.

Forum posters describe September as still summer-like around the Fagaras mountains near Sibiu - balmy days with somewhat chillier nights, and if the weather cooperates, most of the day can be spent outside in shirt sleeves. Early September gets the best odds; by late September into early October, conditions are still called nice but with a real uptick in rain chances and cooler air. Rain gear and layers are the standard packing advice regardless of exact dates. For the visit itself, posters recommend about two days in Sibiu's old quarter and museums, with day trips out to the nearby fortified-church German villages as the natural add-on.
