I have heard several references of late on forecasts I quote " now a very
cold Continent". Well this is not really so.
Current temperatures mid afternoon Warsaw 1C, Berlin 1C, to the southeast
Budapest at 1C, Vienna 1C and to the north east Helsinki minus 2C. Moscow is
chilly with minus 17C and even lower in parts of the city but as yet this
air is some distance from us.
Now similar references were made in January 1987 and things were a little
different- Helsinki minus 30C, Copenhagen minus 13C, Berlin minus11C,
Prague minus 17C, Moscow minus 27C, Budapest minus 17C, Munich -16C etc at
lunchtime on the 12th. Now that was cold.
