“After the snows and storms, the weather scene changes. From Monday we will have a new episode of African dust transport which will peak on Wednesday 4/24. In fact, the episode will be intense on Tuesday in western and northern Greece and on Wednesday in the Aegean and the eastern mainland. Also on Tuesday in the Ionian, the mainland (and Attica and Thessaloniki) and in the northern Aegean there will also be mud showers”.
This is what meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafillias says in his post today about the weather for the next few days.
At the same time, as he mentions, “the southerlies on the two-day third Wednesday will reach 7-8 Beaufort in the southern seas and in the eastern Aegean.
The rise in temperature will be impressive, especially on Tuesday, with the mercury climbing even 13 degrees above the normal levels for the season.”
