Muddy rains, Foen-type winds and heat, when does the weather “open”, the forecast for Patras

African dust will cover Patrasbut also the whole country today, as the phenomenon of dust transport from the Sahara is at its peak, facilitated by the strong winds that will blow.

The weather will be stifling as African dust combined with rising temperatures will make things difficult.

According to the forecast, it will be cloudy in Patras, with the temperature exceeding 30 degrees, while the winds will reach 5 Beaufort.

The reason for the advance of the African dust is the stormy east-southeast winds that will reach 8 Beaufort, with gusts that will reach 9 Beaufort in the Aegean. They will bring mud showers to the central and northern areas, they will bring dust, clouds, while the temperature will reach 30 degrees Celsius in northern Crete at the same time as in Florina they will have 12 degrees.

The forecast maps below show:

• With red shades the concentration of dust in the atmosphere during the midday and evening hours of Tuesday 23/04.
• With yellow shades the areas where mud rains will occur during the same time intervals.

Foen type winds and 30s

The director of EMY, Thodoris Kolidas, referring to the weather for the next few days in his post on his personal account on X (formerly Twitter) speaks of Foen-type winds and explains that 30s are coming.

“Many times we have seen comparable or even greater differences of 16°C between North-West Greece and Southern Island areas, especially in cases where strong southerly downward winds prevail. Of course we are not referring to something “unprecedented”, such as e.g. for today’s 28 °C in Heraklion and 11 to 12 °C in the northwest.

Tomorrow Tuesday we may catch even higher prices (the 30s), but it won’t be much, as reported in the press. These prices will be limited mainly in Crete, or where the locally strengthened downwinds of the Foen type will again play an important role,” says Thodoris Kolidas.
