Significant rainfall was recorded in Epirus and Thrace on February 20 and 21 according to the National Observatory of Athens weather monitoring network.
On February 20 and 21, the National Observatory of Athens reported heavy rainfall across the regions of Epirus and Thrace. The automatic weather stations recorded an impressive amount of 82 mm of rain in the area of Theodoriana, Amfilochia, during that period. This meteorological phenomenon has drawn attention as it reflects seasonal weather patterns that can affect local ecosystems and agricultural activities.
The report was accompanied by a map detailing cumulative rainfall amounts and highlighted the eight areas that experienced the highest levels of rainfall during the referenced days. Such data is crucial not only for immediate weather forecasting but also for planning and preparing for potential flooding events, which are a risk with such significant precipitation levels.
The implications of heavy rainfall can be profound, especially in rural areas dependent on stable weather for agriculture. Stakeholders, including farmers and local authorities, will need to closely monitor weather updates from organizations like the National Observatory to mitigate adverse effects on crops and ensure community preparedness for any flooding emergencies.
