Marousakis: From Sunday afternoon the temperature drops sharply

“From Sunday evening onwards, we will have a lot of cold weather and even snow,” Klearhos Marousakis said in a post.

“From Sunday afternoon through the middle of next week we will experience some very wintry weather. We will see the temperature plummet. We will see several showers again Monday and Tuesday (7-8/4) while snow is likely to descend to low elevations. Snow showers will be tracked towards the north and northwest and northeast. It is a winter-type atmospheric circulation. It’s not consistent with the season we’re in. But it’s not unusual.
