This year's May Day has officially been recorded as the coldest in Greece in the last seventy years, as a sudden weather shift brought "winter" back to many parts of the country.

A sharp drop in temperature, accompanied by strong northern winds and heavy rainfall, resulted in an unusual scene for the season. Mercury levels plunged significantly below the seasonal average for early May.

Regional highlights

In Northern and Central Greece, maximum temperatures struggled to exceed 12 - 14°C (53.5°F-57°F), while in mountainous regions, unexpected snowfall was reported at higher altitudes.
