Snowy start to May in Greece as Germany basks in near-record heat

Unusual weather patterns bring contrasting temperatures to Europe at the start of May. In Greece, a "cold air invasion" creates wintry conditions with heavy rainfall, stormy winds, and snowfall in various parts of the country, including the mountains around Athens and Crete. Meanwhile, German cities experience balmy conditions with temperatures in the high 20s, potentially breaking a heat record for May. The cold spell in Greece is expected to be short-lived, with temperatures set to warm significantly from Monday.
