After the relatively high temperatures earlier this week, Bulgaria has been hit on Thursday by a blast of cold air and torrential rains.
The daily temperatures fell by over 10 degrees C and the forecast is for the weather to remain cold, foggy and rainy in the next two days particularly in the Eastern and Northern parts of the country.
The drastic changes are attributed to a cold front bringing thunderstorms, downpours and strong winds.
Southern Bulgaria, a few villages near the town of Smolyan in the Rhodopi Mountains in particular, saw some of the heaviest downpours on Thursday – the village of Arda was hit by whopping 50 litres per sq meter for the last twenty-four hours.
Officials say the pouring rain is overwhelming the sewerage system's ability to drain the water, creating big puddles, increasing the risk of floods and slowing down traffic.
The rains are expected to abate on Saturday and the sunshine will come out over the whole country with the mercury zooming up during the weekend.
