After an unusually early and severe start to winter which has killed more than 60 people, temperatures are beginning to rise across Europe. However the mercury has remained below freezing point in many areas.
In Poland, five more people died as temperatures early on Sunday fell to minus 24 degrees Celsius (minus 11 Fahrenheit). This brought the death toll there to 36 since the beginning of the month and 51 since the start of September. Most of the victims were homeless people seeking shelter in unheated abandoned buildings or garden sheds. The deaths overnight of a man and woman in Prague brought the number killed in the cold snap to six in the Czech capital.
