A spatial distribution of air temperature across Europe at 15 UTC on 9th of February 2026. Zero degree isotherm cuts diagonally across Europe from Northwest to Southeast around central Europe. Areas west of the line experience temperatures above freezing while areas to the east are still experiencing cold temperatures, in locations even below -10 to -20 degrees Celsius.
