In particular, from noon on Sunday, rains and thunderstorms will increase and there will be a gradual drop in temperature until Thursday, April 10. Forecast models indicate that the lowest temperatures will prevail on Tuesday, April 8.

Marousakis: From Sunday afternoon the temperature drops sharply

“From Sunday evening onwards, we will have a lot of cold weather and even snow,” Klearhos Marousakis said in a post.

“From Sunday afternoon through the middle of next week we will experience some very wintry weather. We will see the temperature plummet. We will see several showers again Monday and Tuesday (7-8/4) while snow is likely to descend to low elevations. Snow showers will be tracked towards the north and northwest and northeast. It is a winter-type atmospheric circulation. It’s not consistent with the season we’re in. But it’s not unusual. At Easter it looks like the weather will be mild with some showers,” the meteorologist said, among other things.
