Weather change from next week: rain and storms coming from Ukraine

Cold air masses from Ukraine will bring thunderstorms and rain to Greece next week, with unstable weather expected.

In his post on the X platform, EMY director Thodoris Kolidas noted that adverse weather conditions will affect continental areas more, there is a possibility of heavy precipitation:

“From next week onwards, the country will experience greater instability with local rainfall or storms, mainly in the afternoon in continental areas. Cold air masses that will change the weather pattern will come from the north-east, in particular from Ukraine, where they will pass over our region via the Black Sea – such circulation is currently not so common. If cold masses were to come from the Central Mediterranean, they could cause more precipitation.”
