"Siberia of Greece"/ The city where winter lasts 7 months and

It is called the "Siberia of Greece" as it is famous for its cold. It has 7 months of polar winters and temperatures reaching -30 degrees Celsius.

The town of Kato Nevrokopi is located in the northwestern part of the Drama prefecture in Greece and is famous for its cold, as it records almost polar temperatures during the winter months, often constituting a reference point for meteorologists.

Winter in Nevrokopi lasts 7 months and is bitterly cold. Scientists attribute the phenomenon to the fact that the surrounding mountains prevent the entry of warm air masses into the basin. As a result, weather conditions similar to those of the Siberian steppe are created.

Temperatures here range from -15 to -30 degrees Celsius, while snowfall in May is not uncommon, and even at the end of June it has snowed in the area, as happened in 1996. This year, with the arrival of a severe winter, no one knows how much the thermometer will drop.

For the 8,026 residents, harsh winters are part of their daily lives. Temperatures slowly drop from mid-October, when the first cold snap begins, continuing in the same weather pattern until April.

Snow reaches up to two meters, which means a difficult daily life, even for the simplest things, from going shopping to heating and freezing the gutters . / CNA
