Natural phenomena will be locally accompanied by rain, hail and severe thunderstorms.
The geographical areas affected by the storm will be: Epirus, Macedonia, Thessaly with a focus on the western and northern parts of the region, west-central continental Greece, the interior of the Peloponnese (mountains and foothills), Thrace (northern part) and mainly northwestern part of the Aegean.
