TEMPERATURES SET TO PLUNGE ACROSS EASTERN EUROPE THIS WEEK AS COLD AIR RETURNS
Cold weather is charging across Eastern Europe as the region prepares for its first Arctic blast after the summer.
The leading edge of the frigid weather is bringing heavy rain with some places braced for some violent thunderstorms.
The most destructive weather is likely to be in Slovenia and northern Italy, where storms could bring flooding, rains, and damaging hail.
As the rain clears, the winds are expected to increase, with the risk they could reach as high as 150 km/hr at times. This is easily enough to pull down trees, powerlines and kill people .
The cold weather is forecast to reach as far as southern Greece by Tuesday night, with parts of the Balkans anticipating temperatures 12 Celsius below average.

While the temperatures plunge across Eastern Europe, the western parts of the continent will enjoy some far calmer weather.
In Western Europe, the temperatures will rise over the week with a lot more settled weather in the outlook as high pressure dominates the forecast for most of western Europe.

The stunning Leitir Mhic An Bhaird (Lettermacaward) Donegal during May 2018
This was a shot of a sunset i got back on May 2016 from Creevy Donegal Ireland while watching the sunset for over 2 hours.
I was in Albufeira Portugal I was waiting for the full moon to come up and it did not let me down.
The orange and red tints that the Moon sometimes take on rising and setting are caused by the particles in the Earth's atmosphere. When light (or more specifically, packets of light called photons) from an astronomical object passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters off of particles in the latter.
What a unbelievable night and morning out storm chasing, These number of thunderstorms had to be the best in years as most of the lightning was CG bolts. I even manage to captures Two to three CG bolts in one shot.
