A complex weather system characterized by heavy rains, gusty winds reaching Force 8 in the Aegean Sea, significant temperature drops from -1°C at night lows of +5-6 degrees Celsius during daytime highs is currently affecting most regions across mainland Greece (Kavala). Simultaneously, a high concentration of African dust remains present over several areas including Athens and Thessaloniki. The situation has been described as "winter-like" with localized snowfall reported in mountainous zones such as the Peloponnese while heavy rainfall continues to fall on islands like Crete (Rosa.gr).
Key Points
-
1A severe weather system is expected to bring rain and a significant temperature drop across Greece, with conditions described as resembling winter.
-
2Strong winds up to 8 Beaufort are forecast for the Aegean Sea alongside heavy rainfall in multiple regions including mountains where snowfall may occur due to dust accumulation on slopes. African sand/dust remains concentrated over areas despite precipitation events which could reduce visibility or cause landslides during storms.
Developments
