Rainy conditions are expected tomorrow, Friday (13/11), mainly across western Greece, with strong winds over the open seas. Temperatures are forecast to remain at seasonally normal levels. A series of low-pressure systems will bring rain and thunderstorms, while powerful southerly winds will also carry African dust across the country.
According to the meteo forecast, rain will occur tomorrow across most parts of western Greece, in Attica, and on the islands of the Eastern Aegean.
More specifically, weather phenomena will affect the Ionian Islands, Epirus, Aetolia-Acarnania, and parts of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace during the morning hours. At the same time, there is a significant probability of rainfall across the Central Aegean islands and the Dodecanese.
High concentrations of African dust
During the midday hours, the weather phenomena are expected to weaken before returning in the afternoon and evening, when they will also affect parts of western and central Peloponnese, Attica, and central Euboea. High concentrations of dust are expected across most parts of the country due to the transport of Saharan dust from Africa.
