The autumnal one weather says goodbye to us from tomorrow Saturday, as – as everything seems to be – giving way to a more wintry setting with rains but also a slight drop in temperature.
At winter rates, the weather will fluctuate at least until Monday. According to OPEN’s meteorologist, Clearchos Marousakis, on Saturday, on the one hand, we will have northern weather in the east with low temperatures. However, in the rest of the country Saturday will start with mild moods near the afternoon but one approaches us barometric low which will bring showers and thunderstorms first to the northwest.
On Sunday, rains and storms are expected in the country from the north-west to the south-east, although the phenomena will quickly be limited.
According to Clearchos Marousakis the storms will be mainly focused over the sea. It is possible that we will also have snow first in the mountains of the northern mainland and on Monday a little further south in mountainous areas of the central mountainous country near Pelion, Arachova, Kalavryta and maybe also in the southern Peloponnese.
Yes, it is not excluded to snow and in the mountains of Crete.
