A long lline of storms with great length

Newsroom February 28 10:54

The weather will deteriorate again from Thursday, according to the director of the National Meteorological Service (EMY), Thodoris Kolydas. As he mentions in his post, the barometric low forming today in the Central Mediterranean has been named Dorothea.

According to Thodoris Kolydas, the new storm will begin to affect the country from Thursday afternoon and mainly on Friday with rain, storms, and stormy southerly winds.

The storm, according to Klearchos Marousakis, will first hit western Greece, with a line of storms with great length.

On Friday, this wave will travel slightly further east and will affect the entire country.

The weather will start to improve over the weekend, initially from the west, but some instability will remain because the new storm wave will be quite deep, according to the meteorologist.

Today’s weather

Clouds are expected in Central and Western Macedonia, Thessaly, Central and Eastern mainland, Eastern and Southern Peloponnese, Central and Southern Aegean, and Crete. Local showers will mainly occur in the mountains of the above regions and in Crete. In the rest of the country, there will be scattered clouds but also intervals of sunshine. Dust concentrations in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the country will be relatively increased.
