Winter has changed its mind about coming to Greece at least until the end of this week, as temperatures are expected to rise to 10 degrees above normal. However, you have to pay for everything, because along with the warm air, a wave of African dust will cover the country.
According to the forecast of meteorologist George Tsatrafilia, in the coming days our country will be covered by a wave of African dust from the coast of Morocco, crossing Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
As the meteorologist writes in his message, “temperatures on Thursday, which will be the peak of the warm invasion, will be approximately 10 degrees above normal.” He also included a map of the highest temperatures expected in different parts of the country.
