The weather will change tomorrow, Thursday, and the day after tomorrow, Friday, with the main features of the bad weather being rain, thunderstorms, a drop in temperature and African dust bringing muddy showers.

According to meteo.gr, the reason for this change in weather will be the eastward movement of an atmospheric disturbance in the middle troposphere from the central Mediterranean to southern Greece.

The main characteristics of the weather during this weekend will be:

– Showers and local thunderstorms over most of the country, which during Friday 10/05 in the northern parts of Crete are likely to be locally heavy.

– A drop in temperature of up to 8-9 degrees Celsius compared to Wednesday 08/05.

– The transport of Saharan dust mainly in the middle troposphere, which in combination with rainfall will result in muddy rain in many areas as seen in the map group below. It is worth noting that Saharan dust concentrations near the surface will not be high.

– The strengthening of winds in the Aegean Sea with intensities up to 6-7 Beaufort.

– The possibility of hail showers in the southern Aegean.

Which areas will be affected by the weather change, see map below:
