He points out that global warming allows the atmosphere to accumulate more moisture, leading to more violent storms. In recent days, Romania has been hit by storms with 150 km/h winds and heatwaves, and experts fear that these phenomena will continue to intensify. Temperature records are alarming and the outlook for the future is worrying, with increased risks of damage.
