1 week agoWeather tracker: Snowfall cuts power in Poland and flooding devastates Sri Lanka
Temperatures plummeted this week across the eastern half of Europe, with the Alps dipping as low as -20C and to -8.5C in the Polish town of Zakopane in the Tatras Mountains. Heavy snow also affected other parts of Poland with 15-20cm of snow falling in much of the central swathe of the country and more than 40cm in the south towards the mountains. This occurred as an area of low pressure moved up from the Balkans and collided with cold Arctic air over Poland.
