Greece is set to experience heavy rain and storms this Sunday, as the National Meteorological Service (EMY) issues warnings for intense weather events. Updated forecasts indicate that certain areas in the northern and western parts of the country will be particularly affected. Significant rainfall and thunderstorms are expected, especially in the regions of Corfu and Paxos as well as in Epirus, continuing through Sunday afternoon.

In addition to the anticipated storms, the forecast includes strong southerly winds and African dust impacting the weather. The EMY has warned that winds could reach gale force in the Ionian Sea and Aegean Sea, contributing to the adverse weather conditions.
