Cold Winter To Hit Greece This Year

The coldest winter of the past decade is expected to hit Greece this year. The anticyclones in western Europe will push the cold weather systems from the north to eastern Europe.

Meteorologists warn that this winter in Greece will be exceptionally cold and is expected to be the coldest winter of the past decade. So far other Balkan countries have had a preview of the weather to come with snowfall documented as early as the 22nd of October.
