With gale force winds, several mud showers and noticeable presence of Saharan dust in the atmosphere almost the entire country will roll today 23/4. The dust transport episode which has been going on since yesterday, today will reach its climax.
Caused by the strong east-southeast winds that will reach 8 Beaufort, with gusts even at 9 Beaufort in the Aegean. In the central areas they will bring mud showers, dust in the central areas and the north, cloudy, but also 30 degrees Celsius in northern Crete while in Florina the thermometer will not exceed 12 degrees.
As its director stated in his post EMY Thodoris Kolydas the large temperature difference between North-West Greece and Southern Island areas is not something unheard of and the 30 days expected in Crete will not be many while “an important role will again be played by the locally strengthened Foen-type downslope winds”.
On Wednesday, the westerly wind will begin to push the dust towards the Dodecanese more progressively further east, ensuring for the Thursday and Friday clearer atmosphere.
