Bad weather persists in Greece today, February 13, with the main features being locally strong thunderstorms and fierce winds. According to predictions from the National Meteorological Service, the adverse conditions will continue with intense phenomena expected particularly in Crete, the Aegean Islands, and the severely affected Evros region. Furthermore, rain showers are anticipated to also affect Bulgaria, necessitating caution in the Thrace area due to the risk of river flooding from intense rainfall.

The meteorological forecasts indicate that these phenomena will be accompanied by very strong to gale-force westerly winds in the southern Ionian region and areas such as Kythira and Crete. From midday onwards, rain showers are expected to diminish; however, gale-force winds could still reach speeds of up to 9 Beaufort. Temperatures will remain mild, with some areas potentially exceeding 20 degrees Celsius, offering a brief reprieve from the harsh weather.

This weather event has implications not only for Greece but also for neighboring regions such as Bulgaria, indicating a cross-border impact that requires ongoing monitoring and readiness for any necessary protective measures. The situation emphasizes the need for public awareness and precautionary actions as communities brace for potential flooding and disruptions due to the combination of heavy rains and strong winds.
