Weather: Autumn temperatures and rising humidity — Where and when to expect showers

Negative temperatures yesterday in Macedonia and Epirus - The EMF forecast for the weekend

Newsroom October 30 07:06

Mild weather conditions will prevail over the coming days, with possible showers and local storms expected on Friday and Saturday, mainly across the western and southern coastal and maritime areas, according to meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis. He added that northerly winds will gradually strengthen, particularly over the Aegean region.

Meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas noted in a post that “the persistent presence of the anticyclone over Central and Southern Europe continues to limit organized rainfall in our country. Hopefully, the latest forecast data will leave a ‘window of hope’ open for more substantial weather phenomena toward the end of the month.”

🎯 “The ‘Brumaris’ is slow, but not lasting. The persistent anticyclone over Central and Southern Europe still restricts widespread rainfall. Hopefully, the latest data will allow for some meaningful change,” Kolydas added on X (formerly Twitter).
