The weather will change scenery from tomorrow (29/11), as the weather is expected to worsen, with rain, snow and a drop in temperature.

On Saturday and Sunday we will have rain and thunderstorms in most of the country, which will be locally strong.

According to him, the feasibility of issuing an emergency weather bulletin will be considered today.

Arnaoutoglu warns of “potentially dangerous weather” over weekend

“In the next 24 hours a change in weather is expected that appears to be severe. A lot of water will fall for hours in many areas of the country. In some of them the phenomena cannot be ruled out to be potentially dangerous,” Sakis Arnaoutoglou said in a post.

The weather will start to show its “teeth” from Friday evening. “On Saturday, we will be visited by a low barometric pressure that will give us a lot of water and in some places a lot of water,” the meteorologist says.

Northern Greece will see a lot of water and the rains will be long lasting. At the same time in Florina, Kastoria and maybe even Kozani, it will snow.
