Significant strengthening of northerly winds in the Aegean Sea and the eastern continents

According to the latest forecasts of the National Observatory of Athens / meteo.gr, the change in atmospheric circulation in the coming hours over Southeastern Europe, with the rapid development of high pressure over the Balkans, will result in a gradual and significant strengthening of north-northeasterly winds in the Aegean Sea and the eastern continents, mainly on Monday 28/04.

Thus, north-northeast winds are expected to prevail today in the Aegean Sea with intensities up to 6-7 and locally 8 Beaufort, while in the Ionian Sea generally east-northeast winds with intensities up to 4-5 and locally 6 Beaufort are expected. Wind gusts in parts of the Aegean and the mainland are expected to exceed 70-80 km/h and locally 90-100 km/h, for the morning and afternoon hours of Monday 28/04. At the same time, with the prevalence of northerly winds on Monday 28/04, a slight drop in temperature in the eastern part of the country is expected, up to 3-4 degrees compared to the values of Sunday 28/04.
