Temperatures in Bulgaria break 100-year record SOFIA (AFP) Dec 03, 2004 Spring-like temperatures soaring above 20 degrees Celsius (70 Fahrenheit) were recorded in north Bulgaria on Friday, the highest for the date since records began a century ago, weather officials said. In the central-northern town of Pleven, the temperature climbed to 21.5 degrees Celsius, while it reached 20.2 degrees in the Black Sea town of Varna -- the highest ever recorded on December 3, which is mid-winter in Bulgaria. The previous record dated back to December 3, 1939, when the mercury had shot to 18 degrees Celsius. All rights reserved. � 2005 Agence France-Presse.
