Weatherday: Three popes

Late afternoon in Athens, April 2004.

A mix of cloud and sunny spells, with some scattered showers.

Cooler than lately, with temperatures up to 15deg in light breezes from the south-west.

On this day in 1978, Pope John Paul 1 died only 33 days after his papal election, making it the first year of three popes since 1605.
