Thessaloniki in the grip of bad weather

The meteorologists who warned of a sudden change in the weather were right. Bad weather showed itself in all its glory on the afternoon of Monday June 6 in Thessaloniki.

Heavy hail and a storm “hit” the northern capital of Greece, and the size of the hail was almost the size of a walnut, which created many problems. The wind was raging, and the townspeople were very impressed by the fact that in just a few minutes the air temperature dropped sharply, writes newsbreak.gr.

A sharp deterioration in the weather with heavy rains, which will be accompanied by intense thunderstorms, and in some places hail and gale-force winds, is forecast by the National Weather Service (EMY) from Monday June 6 to Friday June 10. Bad weather will affect mainland Greece.

In the center of Thessaloniki, a tree collapsed onto the roadway, almost crushing a vehicle. By sheer chance, two women who had just got into a taxi in the center of Thessaloniki, in Kamara, escaped death. Heavy rain with hail, combined with storm wind, uprooted a tree that fell next to the car, literally a few centimeters away! The tree, as seen in the video, scratched the taxi, damaged the passenger seat and the right mirror. Fortunately no one was hurt.
