We see a clear day today, Thursday, as the African dust that turned Greece into a… Sahara, painted the sky orange and sent several people to the Emergency, retreated from almost all of Greece.
A significant amount of it, however, remains in the Dodecanese, with the winds blowing her away from noon. The good news is that no other dust episode is expected until Sunday, the bad news is that discussions have already begun about new dust episodes in May.
In the field of rain, localized showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected in the west and north today. At the same time, snowfall will occur in the mountains of the northwestern country (at an altitude above 1300 meters). From late afternoon improvement.
In the rest of the country, a few clouds at intervals increased with local rains or showers in the midday hours in the continental mainly mountainous areas. Clear from the afternoon.
