Weather: A Cold front approaches on Sunday – See maps of areas affected by bad weather

A summer-like weather pattern is expected starting Friday, as temperatures will exceed 34 degrees Celsius; however, this warm spell will be followed by a cold air mass on Sunday, bringing a drop in temperatures.

In a post today on X, meteorologist Thodoris Kolyda noted:

ΗΠΙΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΖΕΣΤΟΣ ΚΑΙΡΟΣ- ΜΕΤΑΒΟΛΗ ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΠΡΟΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΑ
Η άνοδος της θερμοκρασίας τις επόμενες ημέρες το κύριο χαρακτηριστικό του καιρού και την Παρασκευή και το Σάββατο θα ξεπεράσουμε τους 30°C σε πολλές περιοχές .

“The rise in temperature over the next few days will be the main characteristic of the weather, and on Friday and Saturday, we will exceed 30°C in many areas. However, the temperature on Monday will drop by about 5 degrees, returning to normal autumn levels (see maps).”

Development of Weather Phenomena from Today

With intermittent clouds but also plenty of sunshine, low wind intensity, and some rain mainly in the northwestern parts of the country, the days will unfold until Thursday, according to ERT meteorologist Anastasia Tyraske.

The temperature will reach around 30 degrees. On Friday and Saturday, the weather will be summery, with abundant sunshine across the country and temperatures locally reaching around 32-33 degrees.

More specifically, today, Tuesday, most parts of the country are expected to have sunshine with periods of clouds. Local rain and isolated thunderstorms will occur in western Greece, mainly in the northwestern regions. Winds in the Ionian will be from the south, and in the Aegean from the north, with intensities reaching up to 5 Beaufort. The temperature will reach 26 to 29 degrees in most areas.

In Attica, sunshine is expected with occasional clouds. Winds will be weak, and temperatures will reach up to 28 degrees.

In Thessaloniki, sunshine is also expected with intermittent clouds. Winds will be weak, and temperatures will reach up to 27 degrees.

Marousakis’ Forecast on Weather Developments

“In the temperature chart, or as I like to call it, the ‘truth chart,’ which includes the multiple solutions of meteorological models showing the prevailing weather trend, we can observe the upward trajectory of the temperature, where by the end of the week in the Attica region, we will see temperatures nearing 34 degrees Celsius as a maximum.

It is also worth noting that observing the same chart towards the end, we see temperature curves sharply declining, indicating a sudden weather change accompanied by a steep drop in temperature, which is expected early next week. We will address this when our predictive elements can lead to more stable conclusions.

Temperatures in the country in the first days of October

Until then, we enjoy the summer weather with caution, especially in the west until Wednesday, where instability seems to dominate.”

A Strong Blocking Anticyclone Expected in Early October – What Problems It May Cause to the Weather

A strong blocking anticyclone is expected to develop in the coming period, resulting in a lack of rainfall, according to Thodoris Kolyda in a new post.

The blocking anticyclone will prevent weather systems from central Europe from moving toward our area.

Kolyda’s Detailed Post

THE WEATHER OUTLOOK UNTIL THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER

The rise in temperature starting early next week will be the main feature of the weather. From the beginning of October, we return to normal temperature levels.

Regarding rainfall, nothing encouraging is observed, with the only exception being some phenomena at the end of the month. A strong blocking anticyclone will develop from early October. This strong anticyclone will block and prevent systems from central Europe from moving into our area, resulting in a lack of rainfall.
