Rainy weather will continue in the coming days, but meteorologists do not expect it to be as intense as the Bora storm.

As EMY director Thodoros Kolydas says in a post on X, “showers on Thursday in the Ionian Sea, the mainland (except Thrace) and towards the evening in the Cyclades, Crete, and the Dodecanese. Local thunderstorms will occur in the West and South. On Friday and Saturday local showers at times. Thunderstorms will occur in the Cyclades, Crete, and Dodecanese. On Sunday, showers and thunderstorms mainly in western Greece.”

For his part, Sakis Arnaoutoglou speaks of rains that will start today from the west and will affect Attica from the evening.

“Attention will be needed in the Ionian Islands and western Greece starting Friday, as the phenomena will be intense in some places. Rains are expected again in Rhodes. At the weekend, the weather will remain rainy in most areas of the country, while showers will also occur on Monday in Attica,” he says in his forecast.

Giorgos Tsatrafillas warns of two barometric lows (Thursday-Friday, Sunday-Tuesday) that will affect the country in the coming days.

“In particular, they will give plenty of rain in western Greece and a little snow in the mountains. In other areas, clouds will prevail and it will rain at times. It will also not be particularly cold. The prevailing winds will be southerly, which from Sunday onwards will become brisk and reach 8 Beaufort. This seems to be the way the weather will be until the middle of December!”
