There will be no significant change in the weather until Sunday in our country, according to Thodoris Kolydas. As the EMY director says in a post, “the only “strange” – and to be precise – not so common – is the Retrograde Low which from NE Europe is heading southwest. This is caused by the strong anticyclone covering much of Europe. (Video 1)

The upper low ends up in the Western Mediterranean and temporarily in the coming week causes favorable conditions for phenomena mainly in western Greece.
