The Atlantic cyclones blow a lot of moist and warm air to Moldova, but sometimes it also brings the Mediterranean heat wave full of water vapor, resulting in Moldova's summer rainstorm. A large amount of dry air from the southeast often causes drought, while the Arctic cold air, which can cause cold waves in early or late autumn, seldom invades Moldova. Moldova enjoys a good reputation as a "sunshine country". The duration of continuous sunshine is 2060 hours in the north and 2330 hours in the south, the plant growth period is more than 210 days.
