Weather: Umbrella on Tsiknopempti in Attica - Three disturbances, the red areas
The weather in Greece is expected to be unstable with storms and rainfall affecting Tsiknopempti celebrations in Attica due to three atmospheric disturbances.
In Greece, residents are advised to prepare for unstable weather conditions as three atmospheric disturbances are set to affect the region through Sunday. Those looking forward to outdoor celebrations on Tsiknopempti will be disappointed as the weather will feature storms, hail, lightning, and strong winds. According to meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias, the heaviest rainfall is anticipated in western Greece, southern Crete, Thrace, the eastern Aegean, and the Dodecanese islands.
The most severe weather events are predicted for Wednesday night and Tsiknopempti evening in Attica, urging those planning to grill outdoors to choose afternoon hours when conditions are expected to be milder. As noted by meteorologist Thodoris Kolyda, while the weather will be generally unstable across much of the country, there will be a brief improvement as one weather system moves away from the eastern Aegean and another approaches from the west later in the day.
This forecast indicates significant implications for local celebrations, particularly in urban areas where outdoor gatherings are common. The challenges posed by adverse weather may shift public engagement with traditional events, prompting many to reconsider their plans or seek covered venues for the festivities.
