Christmas brought snow to Bucharest this year, and for a few days the city finally looked the way many people expect it to look in winter. Parks filled up, children played outside, and the atmosphere felt unmistakably seasonal. After that brief winter moment, the obvious question followed: does the snow continue, or was it just a short episode?

Weather in Bucharest after Christmas: what actually changes

After 25 December, the weather settles into a more stable pattern. Temperatures remain low, but they are no longer cold enough to support sustained snowfall. During the day, values rise slightly above freezing, while nights remain below zero.

An important detail for this period is that sunny intervals return. Skies are no longer permanently overcast, and the days after Christmas are noticeably brighter, even though the air stays cold.

The forecast for 27–28 December in Bucharest

Between 27 and 28 December, the weather remains cold but generally stable. There are periods of sunshine mixed with clouds, and precipitation is limited or completely absent. If any snowflakes appear, they are brief and isolated, without leading to new accumulation.

Wind is also part of the picture, with temporary gusts during the day. Because of this, the cold feels sharper, even when the sun is out. Daytime highs reach around 1–3°C, while nighttime temperatures stay below freezing.

Snow left over from Christmas can still be seen in the mornings in shaded areas and green spaces, but it gradually disappears from busy streets and sidewalks, especially during sunnier hours.

Will it snow again between Christmas and New Year?

The short answer is not in any significant way. After the Christmas snowfall, there are no signs of a new system bringing consistent snow to Bucharest. Light flurries are possible, but they do not change the overall look of the city.

Sunshine and slightly positive daytime temperatures limit snow accumulation, while the wind helps dry or freeze surfaces rather than build up new layers.

What the end of the year looks like, weather-wise

The final days of the year bring a calm, typical winter setup for Bucharest: cold air, some sunshine, noticeable wind, and little precipitation. It is less about dramatic winter scenes and more about clear, cold days that feel sharper than they look.

Conclusion

After Christmas, snowfall does not continue in Bucharest. Cold temperatures remain, the wind adds to the chill, but brighter days return as well. Winter carries on quietly, without fresh snow, but with conditions that clearly belong to the end of December.
