Greece is riding a weather “rollercoaster”, with weekend temperatures spiking to a record high for March just ahead of a forecast bout of snow and frost, meteorologists said on Sunday.
The mercury soared to 31.4 degrees Celsius (88.5 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday in the central town of Livadia—the highest-ever recorded for March, according to National Observatory of Athens’ Meteo.gr.
Across the country, other weather stations registered temperatures more typical of balmy May than the closing days of winter.
“The very high maximum temperatures recorded during the last four days (from Wednesday to Saturday) in the country, were record highs for the month of March in many areas”, Meteo.
