Wow. Bucharest and Pittsburgh are really similar. Never expected SE Europe to be similar to the NE USA. Only difference is the precipitation. Bucharest is much drier (23 inches vs 37 inches). That's about half of where I live! And Pittsburgh has similar sunshine but many more wet days. It always surprised how dry Europe is compared the East Coast of the US, especially since most of Europe is rather cloudy. I'm also puzzled how Europe doesn't seem to be arid for so little rain. I wonder if it looks less lush than the NE US? I don't really remember any difference.

I've never been to Romania (or the US to compare) but from the pictures I've seen of it it does look relatively brown in the summer. Most summer rain in eastern Europe is thundery, so perhaps longer dry intervals. It's a fair way from Romania but when I was in Ukraine it was so parched that there were peat fires in the countryside, and this in March

London gets even less precipitation than Bucharest but is very humid, so that may help the vegetation stay lush. The grass is very green in winter, but in summer it often dies and the soil develops cracks.
