Weather: New deterioration with heavy rains, storms, and stormy winds – Where snowfalls are expected

The weather in Greece is deteriorating today, with heavy rains, thunderstorms, and strong winds expected in various regions.

Today, Greece is experiencing a significant weather deterioration, with forecasts indicating heavy rains, thunderstorms, and strong winds across multiple areas. Strong rainfall and storms are expected in regions including Epirus and western Sterea until the afternoon, and in the western and southern Peloponnese from late morning to afternoon. Additionally, parts of Crete, particularly the west and south, will see similar weather during the midday and afternoon hours.

Alongside the rainfall, very strong to stormy winds are anticipated, particularly in the Ionian Sea and along the western coast of the mainland, where winds will blow from the west-southwest at 7 to 8 Beaufort until noon. In the afternoon and evening, these winds will shift to northwesterly and increase to 9 to 10 Beaufort. The effects of these weather conditions will also reach the Cyclades, where southern islands will encounter transient storms in the afternoon, and in the northern and eastern Aegean and the Dodecanese, strong winds will prevail from early afternoon until evening.

This weather situation raises concerns for local authorities regarding possible flooding and hazardous conditions, as the combination of heavy rain and strong winds can lead to significant disruptions. Preparations for potential snowfalls in certain areas are also underway, highlighting the need for residents to stay updated on weather advisories and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
