Weather alert: Areas that will be affected

Strong storms, winds and drops in temperature are the main features

Newsroom April 19 09:35

Today’s weather will change due to the rapid passage of low-pressure systems coming in from the west and moving towards the east resulting in relatively short duration of bad weather.

The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) has issued a Special Weather Bulletin, that reads:

Today, Friday (19-04-24), a low-pressure system in the west will move eastward and is expected to cause low weather temperature in most parts of the country beginning from early afternoon until Saturday noon (20-04-24) with heavy rain and thunderstorms and frequent lightning and local hailstorms.
