Good weather will continue for the return of the Easter holidaymakers with temperatures in several areas reaching and exceeding 28 degrees Celsius.

However, according to meteorologists’ forecasts from Thursday a new wave of African dust is expected to cover the west and south of the country. Rain, stronger winds and a drop in temperature are also expected.

In a post on social media, Sakis Arnaoutoglou writes that on Thursday and Friday, a barometric low is expected, which with the help of the anticyclone in western Europe, it is not excluded that bad weather will be felt in specific areas.

“A particularly deep barometric low forecast for next Thursday-Friday may not be particularly deep but with the help of the anticyclone in western Europe, its bad weather is not excluded in some places (maps).

The intensity and extent of the weather phenomena still remain open, depending entirely on the exact position and course of the low in the next three days which we are monitoring because in this there is quite a large disagreement by most forecast models! For what is newer will of course details will be available!”, says among other things the meteorologist in a post.
