Moldovawhen to go
Moldova's national averages run from 2 °C in January to 29 °C in August, with rainfall between 27 mm in February and 65 mm in June and 1.8–8.1 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are June, July and August. Its 40 regions span 15–17 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
