Polar temperatures in Greece: As low as -22℃!

From Thursday afternoon!

Newsroom January 3 07:27

A serious deterioration in the weather conditions will start from Thursday and it will effect especially Northern Greece and then the rest of the country, just days after the previous wave of bad weather.

 

The phenomena will reach Crete and chances are that it will be snowing simultaneously in Athens, Thessaloniki, Larisa and probably Patra and Agrinio!

From Friday afternoon the phenomena will go south to Thessaly, Central Greece, Euboea, Attica, Sporades and the Peloponnese. In the main time snow will keep falling in Macedonia and Thrace until the conditions will improve on Saturday morning and fade in northern Greece. Snowfall will continue in Thessaly and further to the South.

 

Winds will be due South at 10 Buford’s but soon they will turn North. On Saturday morning the phenomena will be located on central and southern parts of the country.

 

The wave of bad weather will leave Greece around Tuesday.
