Much of north-central and even parts of southern mainland Greece didn’t
Much of north-central and even parts of southern mainland Greece didn’t get the “climate change” memo late this week, as a sharp cold spell brought distinctly winter-like characteristics to coincide with this year’s May Day commemoration. The cold front caused a sudden temperature drop of up to 10 degrees Celsius within just a few hours and significant snowfall in mountainous areas.
Winter images were recorded across the country’s highlands, where significant – and much needed – snow accumulation reported.
On Mount Parnassus, in south-central Greece, the landscape was once again blanketed in white, with snow depth reaching 3 to 5 centimeters.
The specific site hosts Greece’s best known and visited ski resort.
According to data from the automatic weather station network of the National Observatory of Athens (meteo.gr), frost was recorded during the early morning hours of Saturday. The lowest temperature was measured at the mountainous Seli site in northern Imathia prefecture, at -3.2°C.
Similarly low readings were recorded across northern Greece.
At the Ochyro Nevrokopi site and at the Vevi site in Florina prefecture temperatures dropped to -1.4°C, while the city of Florina recorded -1.2°C. Sub-zero temperatures were recorded in most of northern Greece’s mountainous regions.
