Sharp Drop in Temperatures Across Bulgaria as Winter Conditions Set In

A swift cold front will move across Bulgaria from west to east overnight, according to the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH). Atmospheric pressure will see a sharp increase, significantly exceeding the monthly average.
