The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) issued a severe weather warning at noon on Thursday with forecasts of stormy westerly northwest winds almost all over the country and the heavy rains in the northeastern country.

The temporary worsening of the weather is forecast from today Thursday night and includes sporadic thunderstorms which may be temporarily accompanied by hail.

A sharp change in the weather is expected from Thursday night, with rains, strong thunderstorms, and even hail in several parts of the country, phenomena that will last about 24 hours.

For today Thursday, later in the evening clouds will develop in the west, center, and north and there will be rain and locally strong thunderstorms during the night.
