Lows are expected to drop below -15 C overnight and not to rise much above that throughout Monday, when lows will continue dropping.

In some parts of northern Bulgaria and closed valleys, lows are expected to reach -23 C.

Monday southwestern regions of Kyustendil, Blagoevgrad and Smolyan are under code red for potentially dangerous whether, while Bulgaria's remaining 25 regions are under code orange for dangerous weather.
