By Sunday, the country will move at more normal – and spring – levels. There will be afternoon thunderstorms mainly on the continents and Crete, the north to 5 beaufort will keep the atmosphere clean, and the morning fogs will not be missing. But this is just the tranquility before … freezing.

Northern Greece: Snowfall even in lowland areas her Central and Eastern Macedoniaher Thessaly and of their Thrace Mountains.
-
Central Greece: Snow even below 400-500 meters-probably in areas such as Fthiotida, Boeotia and her mountains Euboea.
-
Attica: Increasing chances for snowfall in the northern suburbswith the possibility of “whitewashing” at lower altitudes if the polar mass maintains its power.
-
Peloponnese: Her mountainous and semi -mountainous Arcadia, Corinthia and Laconia They may receive weak snowfall or snowfall.

Fortunately the bitter cold will not last long, with time gradually improving the next day.
“The weather will continue to tire, as we have said in the long -term assessment of a month, it will have many temperature ups and downs, rain, and snow, and even at almost zero altitudes of the northern areas.
- So Thursday, Friday and Saturday, (3-4-5 April)the main characteristic is volatility at lunchtime in almost all continents, and the day will start relatively beautifully with enough sunshine.
- In short, we will have expansions of volatility with local rains, storms, accompanied by electric discharges.
- The Saturday only April 5, There will also be areas of the Ionian and Aegean islanders with corresponding boom or storm phenomena.
- Her Sunday 6 Aprilthe day will begin with enough sunshine across the country, which will start to change from about the first (+ -) lunchtime -afternoon hours, and from the north, with rains or thunderstorms locally strong accompaniment of electric discharges.
- By night, the phenomena will expand further south. The temperature will start to fall significantly, first to the north and until the evening slowly and the rest.
- Heavy snowfall will occur in the mountains, until the night lower altitudes of Macedonia, and possibly in urban slowly, western Macedonia, but also in the central country.
- The first indications for Monday, April 7th and then want the temperature to decline in a rapid drop in winter levels, with snow flirting at almost zero altitudes of Central Macedonia and Thessaly, as well as very low altitudes of the Central and very low altitudes.
- However, we will talk about this development, however, as there will certainly be changes daily, (to your proper information.)
- Unfortunately, although on Tuesday, April 8, it seems that relatively quickly will stop the phenomena to the north, frost will again create extra problems in fruits and beyond.
- I have emphasized several times that at this time only damage is causing and it would be a good idea to avoid it.
- Unfortunately, however, the weather is running with the old calendar (-13 days ..).
- The march wants atmospheric beasts, both in the North (Polar Masses) and to the South (subtropical), to fight fierce battles, but no one prevails, with the result that almost throughout April, we have spectacular temperature ups and downs.
- For Easter week, it seems that there will be a confirmation of what we have written in the long run, though it is still too early. “
