Weather does not take jokes, even it’s April’s Fool day today. As we expected, it has been a very cold morning today, April 1st. Many countries have reported extremely low morning temperatures, between -5 and -10 °C in many areas! Even below -10 °C in some of the lowlands, e.g. northern Czechia, southwest Poland, northern Moldova, southern Ukraine. The morning frost was destructive for fruit trees and crops, unfortunately.
