Disappearing snow

The snow on the Lefka Ori has almost but disappeared.

This shows how hot it has been all of a sudden for the past two weeks. Even though the snow fell very late this season, and there was a lot of rainfall, other years have seen snow stay on the mountains until mid-June, which is still a month away.

  1. Goodbye beautiful cold snow.

    Israel is having a sharav today, 35 degrees and 15% humidity. Even at night is was 25 degrees which is rare.
    Good luck with your summer.

  2. Good question about birds feeling the heat. Dunno.
    Today is a heat wave. Usually not this hot and not quite this dry. Tomorrow it will be back in the normal high 20s.

  10. Seeing this view gives me a different perspective about the island. How do you feel about the ealy snow melt?
