Fruit farmers in Europe worry about their harvests because of unexpected frost during spring.

(Petani buah di Eropa mengkhawatirkan panen mereka karena serangan embun beku mendadak selama musim semi.)

The cold weather caused concerns if there would be enough food in Europe. In Balkan countries, a sudden drop in temperatures brought snow and ice. The frost damaged fruit trees in Croatia and Poland. Temperatures were as low as -8 degrees Celsius. Dutch farmers found a clever way of protecting their fruit trees. They sprayed them with water which froze, and the ice kept the buds warm. Experts say that these extreme conditions may continue all week.
