Weather over the weekend will worsen considerably, forecasts say, and the dropping temperatures combined with the first snowfalls for the season have prompted meteorologists to warn against any mountain activities.

Though the past two days have been quite warm and sunny, Saturday November 22 will see a sudden and sharp drop in temperatures, with the lowest values reaching seven to eight below zero degrees Celsius. Rain will turn into snow and there is a high probability that mountains will see snow blizzards, so if you have planned any hiking, skip it and stay at home.

Romania will also fall victim to snow blizzards over the weekend and Romanian authorities have issued yellow code alerts to more than half the counties in the country, local media reported.

Sunday November 23 will remain chilly, the highest temperatures reaching several degrees above zero. Snowfalls will continue. If you are flying, brace yourself for possible delays.

With such forecasts in sight, renting several films and stocking up on popcorn seems the best idea for spending a good weekend.
