Hot will be the weather at the weekend with the temperature to be maintained at high – for the season – levels while from the beginning of next week – according to estimates from Tuesday – south winds, African dust and rains are expected.

As for the African dust, the meteorologists point out that it will be transported to the west and south from Monday and especially Tuesday-Wednesday, when southerly winds will prevail.

“Very hot is expected next weekend for our country with the temperature reaching even 9 degrees above normal for the season.

“THE DETAILED FORECAST OF PRECIPITATION AND DUST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

The weather will be hot on Sunday and Monday with the mercury locally at 30 degrees Celsius.

From Monday local rain mainly in the northwest, while on Tuesday thunderstorms will occur on the mainland and possibly on the eastern Aegean islands.

The transfer of African dust to the west and south is favoured from Monday and mainly Tuesday-Wednesday where south winds will prevail.”

Marousakis: “African dust is coming”

“Strong northerly winds in the Aegean today, similar picture tomorrow with limitation of these through Sunday to pave the way for African dust to visit us again with large amounts early in the new week.

I attach the course of the African dust as we presented it in our morning weather analysis” says Klearchos Marousakis.
