A recent survey by the Hellenic Meteorological Society found that 73% of the public believe weather forecasts are overly sensationalized, causing undue anxiety. The survey, which was presented at a seminar on Monday on weather forecast quality and communication, indicated that 90% of Greeks consider forecasts important, but exaggerated reporting leads to public distrust.

The weather will change scenery from tomorrow (29/11), as the weather is expected to worsen, with rain, snow and a drop in temperature.
