Meteorologists explained that the cold in Eastern Europe is like a cold air mass coming from the south of Siberia, which comprehends the entire territory of Russia. In Spain, help groups are on alert waiting for the arrival of the cold wave with temperatures up to -16 degrees in the capital.

The cold wave has also reached Japan and China where the snow has covered streets and houses. Turkey has also registered polar temperatures. (AV)
