Weather: Bitter cold until the middle of the month – Light snowfall last night in Hippocrates State, Parnitha and Penteli

Where will it rain and where will it snow today - The EMY forecast until Wednesday

Newsroom February 8 08:07

 

The chilly cold will persist through mid-February with no particular weather patterns. EMF director Thodoros Kolydas shared the medium-term outlook for weather, talking about lasting winter temperatures, while stressing that the weather will be milder in the last ten days of February.

“Low temperatures for the season will persist into the middle of the month with localized, not significant, temperatures through the middle of next week. Later, and especially towards the end of the second ten-day period, the weather will become milder in terms of temperatures and there is a tendency for more phenomena from systems coming from the west,” writes Theodore Kolydas.

According to Forecast Weather Greece on Friday night, light snowfall occurred in the northern and eastern suburbs of Attica and in the western suburbs of Attica above 170 m altitude due to low humidity and negative dew point.

In a video posted on Facebook, it appears to be snowing in Hippocrates State, while there are reports of light snowfall in areas around Penteli and Parnitha.

Meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias called it a “marathon cold snap”. Speaking to Alpha, he said that from today Athens will wake up with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius. As the meteorologist explained, there will be some snow in Parnitha today while the rest of the capital will be drizzling. Winter and low temperatures will remain in the country until the middle of the month.
