Weather front 'Kirki' to bring heavy rain and hale in Greece
Τhe low-pressure front responsible for the weather system Kirki is already moving east and will start affecting the southwest of Greece early on Wednesday, with the phenomena gradually spreading toward the northeast and affecting a large part of the country, ANA reports.
According to a forecast by the Athens National Observatory's weather service meteo.gr, the phenomena will be most intense phenomena on Wednesday, with heavy rain and storms in the Peloponnese, Crete, eastern Central Greece (including Attica), the Cyclades islands, Thessaly, the island of Evia and the islands of the Eastern Aegean. By Wednesday afternoon they will also have reached Eastern Macedonia and Thrace and the northern Aegean. Hail may fall in the Cyclades, Crete, the islands of the Dodecanese, and Central Greece, as well as the islands of Eastern Aegean.
The rain will be accompanied by strong winds, reaching up to 8-9 Beaufort in the southern Aegean, and the weather conditions will promote the transfer of African dust, especially in eastern and southern parts of the country, where its concentration will be high.
