Weather forecasters say there will be a noticeable drop in temperatures this coming weekend.

According to the director of the National Meteorological Service, Thodoris Kolidas, rain is expected Thursday and Friday, but it will stop from Saturday afternoon.

But he added that the temperature will fall significantly below the seasonal levels, by around 10 degrees.

Meteorologist Giannis Kallianos shared an update on the upcoming weather conditions in Greece through his Facebook account, highlighting continued drought and mild temperatures across the country.

In his post, he notes:

A shift in the weather is on the way! Over the next few days, we can finally say goodbye to the ongoing drought, as rain is forecasted to grace our lands for five days, from November 8th to 13th, according to meteorologist Sakis Arnaoutoglou.

The American weather forecasting model, GFS, predicts a drop in cold air masses for the first days of November, also presenting a scenario of severe bad weather with low pressure in the Aegean and significant rainfall.

Experts are expressing concern about the possible intensity of weather phenomena in the coming summer, and not without reason, given the recent warm winter, the hottest year in modern history in 2023 and extreme heatwaves and devastating, widespread fires.

This European summer is predicted to be one of the hottest since 1993, according to the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

Temperatures are expected to surpass 2.5 degrees Celsius above the averages for the corresponding periods from 1993 to 2016. This is the first time that no possible scenarios predict lower temperatures in any part of Europe.
