The second leg of the "Zinovia" weather front is expected to hit Greece throughout Monday, with the official forecast speaking of heavy snowfalls particularly in central Greece, including the northern suburbs of Athens.

Daytime temperatures in many parts of the country are expected to hit unseasonal highs of 30 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, with the warmest weather forecast in eastern parts of the country and the Aegean islands, the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) said on Monday.

Meteorologists said on Friday that the new cold weather system, dubbed Okeanis by the National Meteorological Service (EMY), forecast to sweep across the country will not be as harsh as initially thought, especially in Athens.

Nonetheless, they said that, after the recent unseasonably sunny weather, temperatures will drop by 12 to 14 Celsius over the weekend.

The City of Athens and other municipal authorities around the country said on Tuesday that they will keep community centers and other air-conditioned facilities open all day as of Wednesday to offer citizens protection from the heat wave, for as long as it lasts.

Sunny skies and gentle breezes on Monday gave way to gale-force winds, prompting a ferry sailing ban on the Ionian island of Corfu, as the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) warned of heavy rain and storms ahead.

The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) issued an urgent extreme weather bulletin warning of a sudden deterioration. The bulletin forecasts snowfalls for the north and eat of Greece, with a rapid temperature fall.
