===Climate=== Cluj-Napoca has a [[humid continental climate|warm-summer humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Dfb''). The climate is influenced by the city's proximity to the [[Apuseni Mountains]], as well as by urbanisation. Some West-Atlantic influences are present during winter and autumn. Winter temperatures are often below {{convert|0|C|F|0}}, even though they rarely drop below {{convert|-10|C|F|0}}. On average, snow covers the ground for 65 days each winter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mediu: Cluj-Napoca |url=http://www.primariaclujnapoca.ro/proiecte-dezbateri/Politici_comunitare_de_mediu.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070125155551/http://www.primariaclujnapoca.ro/proiecte-dezbateri/Politici_comunitare_de_mediu.pdf |archive-date=25 January 2007 |access-date=2008-03-21 |publisher=Primăria Cluj-Napoca |language=ro}}</ref> In summer, the average temperature is approximately {{convert|20|C|F|0}}, despite the fact that temperatures sometimes reach {{convert|35|C|F|0}} in mid-summer in the city centre. There are infrequent yet heavy and often violent storms in summer. During spring and autumn, temperatures vary between {{convert|0|C|F|0}} to {{convert|22|C|F|0}}, with more frequent yet milder periods of rain. The city has the best air quality in the European Union,<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 June 2014 |title=Cluj-Napoca tops the list of cities with best air quality in Europe
