The atmosphere is expected to be stifling today as well due to the African dust.
According to the prognostic data of meteo.gr/National Observatory of Athens, today, in addition to the greatly increased concentrations of dust that will limit visibility, mud showers are also expected to occur, mainly in the north and west of the country. On Wednesday, the turn of the winds to the west will result in the limitation of dust in the Dodecanese and its progressive removal to the east.
In particular, according to the EMY tomorrow, clouds with local rains, sporadic storms and increased concentrations of African dust are expected. The winds will blow from eastern directions 5 to 7 and in the Aegean locally 8 to 9 Beaufort. From the afternoon gradually to the west they will turn to northwesterly 4 to 6 Beaufort. The temperature will rise to its maximum values in southern Greece and to its minimum values in the north. It will reach 19 degrees in the north, 24 to 27 in the rest of the country and 29 degrees Celsius locally due to the southerly winds in northern Crete.
