Summary
[edit]DescriptionStorm Leandros blanketing Greece with snow.jpg |
English: There are several snow-covered areas in Europe in mid-January 2021. After Spain, a new cold front, which has been named Leandros by meteorologists, has brought heavy snowfalls to Greece covering about 70% of the country. Extreme cold prevailed in the Greek mainland and particularly in the region of Macedonia, with temperatures dropping as low as -19 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperatures, recorded in Greece by the automated weather stations of the National Observatory of Athens network, were in Mesovouno Kozani (-19.3C), Koilada Kozanis (-19.3C), Kitrini Limni Kozanis (-17.6C), Nevrokopi (-15.7C) and Florina (-15.5C). This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 18 January, shows parts of Macedonia covered with snow. Snow cover is an important driver of many ecological, climatic and hydrological processes in mountain regions and high latitude areas. Data captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites are particularly suitable for monitoring and mapping snow cover. |
