After the sunny Wednesday when the mercury hit 19 degrees Celsius, Bulgaria will wake up to much colder temperatures on Thursday and see a new spate of snowfalls at the end of the week.

The winter arrived early in Bulgaria n the middle of October, but was cut short by the so-called Gypsy summer.

Now the mercury is expected to plunge to 2 degrees Celsius below zero in western Bulgaria and nearly hurricane winds on the Black Sea coast and the entire eastern Bulgaria where there will be a mix of rain and snow.

The mercury in the capital Sofia will not climb higher than 6 degrees.
