“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.
