Weather forecast for today: rains with African dust


Today, May 15, the morning greets the residents of Greece with inhospitable cloudy weather and, combined with the “returning” African dust, a suffocating atmosphere.

In the north of the country it will be cloudy with localized rain; thunderstorms are possible in the mountains in the middle of the day. Temperatures will rise slightly in the west and south, reaching 21°C in the north of the country, 24-26°C in other regions and in some places 27°C in Crete, reports EMY. The wind is east/southeast: in the Aegean Sea its strength will be from 3 to 5 points, in the Ionian Sea in some places up to 6 points on the Beaufort scale.

ATTICA

Partly cloudy in the north of the region until noon. The wind is easterly, from 2 to 4 on the Beaufort scale. Temperature 15-25°C.

THESSALONIKI

Increased cloudiness. The wind is variable, from 2 to 3 points, in the afternoon from the south, up to 4 points on the Beaufort scale. Temperature 15-21°C.

In the next 24 hours, meteorologists warn, the country will again turn into the “Sahara” – a suffocating combination of heat and African dustand the thermometer will rise to 36°C in some places.
