Problems were caused by bad weather with rains and thunderstorms that hit Thessaly and northern Greece yesterday (20.6.25).
Rain and thunderstorms, which will be temporarily accompanied by strong winds, will continue today (21.6.25).
According to the NMS, the strong phenomena will continue until noon in Central Macedonia, mainly in Halkidiki, in the Sporades until the afternoon, in Central and the Peloponnese until the evening and in Epirus until the afternoon.
According to meteo.gr, heavy rainfall was recorded on the continents and mainly in central and northern Greece. The highest height of rain until 22:00 in Greece was recorded in Saint Theodore Grevena and was equal to 93.8 mm.
Damnings in cereals, legumes and horticulture caused yesterday’s severe weather events in Tsotyli Kozani and in Grevena settlements.
For a stormy cloud developed in Thessaly causing a lot of hailstorms spoke The EMY Director, Theodoris Kolidas, posting on social media yesterday Friday.
“The stormy cloud developed in Thessaly today caused a lot of hailstorms and exceeded 12km!
During the development of a thunderstorm, tropus is acting as a natural obstacle to cloud development, “wrote Thodoris Kolidas.
“However, in some extreme cases where the upward movements of the air in a storm are intense and persistent, then the tops of these storms can penetrate the stratosphere for a few hundred meters leading to very cold cloud peaks as it happened today (Overshooting at 1.15 ° C).
Almost every year we observe in our country 2-3 cm in diameter, but on June 10, 2013, when very strong thunderstorms hit areas of Imathia and Pieria there was a hail of up to 8 cm in diameter.
