"Conditions in Greece and Turkey are being influenced by a low-pressure system over Turkey, which is drawing in colder, moisture-laden air from the northeast via the Black Sea, resulting in temperatures well below seasonal averages."
"In Turkey, temperatures have struggled to reach double figures, with Ankara expected to peak at just 7C, nearly 14C below average, while Greece has faced gale force winds and heavy rain."

"In stark contrast, Central Europe is enjoying a burst of early-summer heat, with temperatures in Poland expected to reach around 12C above average before a cold front brings thunderstorms."
