Weather: Winds ease, anticyclone breaks, first rains arrive

Next weekend the weather will change - The EMY forecast until Friday

Newsroom September 22 08:22

The weather will be generally clear over the next few days with temperatures not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and winds blowing below 6 Beaufort, however towards the end of the week the scene will begin to change, with meteorologists talking about an end to the prolonged drought.

“The anticyclone is collapsing and the first rains are coming…,” Giorgos Tsatrafyllias said in a post.

According to the meteorologist, “The latest forecast data on the much-needed rains in our country are optimistic. Specifically, the atmospheric mountain ( anticyclone ) over our region seems to collapse next weekend and pave the way for rain systems. However, until then, we will enjoy plenty of sunshine, winds will gradually weaken (further strengthening from Friday 26/9) and temperatures will exceed 30 degrees in lowland areas.

Sakis Arnaoutoglou also spoke of a rainy scene, through a new forecast he made on his YouTube channel for the weather trend for the week ahead.

As the weather forecaster pointed out, in terms of rainfall both in our country and in the rest of Europe, things have already changed. With general sunshine, the weather will run until Thursday, when the scenery will slowly start to change, with clouds in several areas of the country.

On Monday, winds are expected to weaken, but from Thursday, a strengthening is expected in the Aegean Sea, Arnaoutoglou said. The temperature will not show much change, with values ranging from 28 to 30 degrees Celsius. From the midday hours of Thursday there is a possibility of rain, while from September 27-28, the rains affecting Western Europe are expected to reach our country, focusing on the western, central, and northern parts of Greece.

Increased northerly winds are blowing on Sunday, 21/09, in the Aegean and eastern continental areas. According to the network of automatic weather stations of the National Observatory of Athens / meteo.gr, the maximum wind gust was recorded at the weather station at the top of Penteli at 127 km/h.
