From today and for several days the main feature of the weather will be winds with the drought unfortunately persisting, according to meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis.

For his part, meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias calls it another “water scarcity bell”.

“The latest forecast data (both medium and long-term) for rainfall in the coming period in our country are disappointing. In fact, no significant rainfall is on the horizon. Undoubtedly, the lack of sufficient clean and available water has become one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century,” the Alpha meteorologist said in a post.

According to meteorologist Nikos Kanteres, “the summer, as we had pointed out, will be maintained until the autumn equinox next weekend, September 21-22, with sunny weather, normal temperatures and sunny weather (winds) offering ideal conditions for planning work and even holidays. The good weather will continue next week until the above weekend 28-29 of the month, when the first strong change in the weather for autumn is expected as rains and thunderstorms are coming after the drought, without at the moment to assess the intensity of the phenomena for local flooding”.
