“I noted on the news that farmers in Romania have had a difficult time due to the weather. In Sweden, the summer weather has been rather rainy and windy with very few sunny days. Weve been four times to the beach so far, which certainly is not what had hoped for. I understand it has been too hot in Romania. I would also like to thank you for the diploma received last month.
(Christer Brunstrom, Halmstad, Sweden)
Japans rainy season has been over, and my favorite season, summer, came. The highest temperature in my hometown exceeds 30 degrees Celsius every day. Still, I love summer. What is the highest temperature of summer in Romania?
(Sakae Onozawa of Yokohama, Japan)
“Interesting to hear that you have been suffering with the heat again this year, here, with the exception of the first week in July, it has felt like anything but summer, and the weather forecasts are even suggesting that in the next week, some of the rural areas could even have temperatures almost low enough for frost on some of the nights. What a difference a few hundred kilometres and living on an island surrounded by water and an unpredictable Gulf Stream can make. I was very interested in the feature about press censorship in Romania during the communist era, and wondered just how the lives of musicians had been affected during those days as well.
(Alan Gale of Whitworth, Lancashire, Great Britain)
“I had a pleasure of listening to your radio station on July 31st 2015. I was at my summer cottage and it was really nice to get a signal from Romania. Thank you very much for your program. It is great that there are countries in Europe like Romania still transmitting on short-wave. The web is absolutely not enough. At our summer cottage with no internet connection the only way to get a signal from a radio station is trying to catch it on air. Keep up the good work
(Kari Kivekas of Helsinki, Finland)
