[01] Weather worsens as Greeks travel home to vote
ANA-MPA -- Greek voters travelling to their home town and villages to
vote will be faced with difficult driving conditions this weekend as
the weather takes a turn for the worse. Rain and storms are forecast
on Saturday and Sunday, with colder temperatures and snow at higher
altitudes, as well as strong southerly winds reaching up to 8 Beaufort
in the Aegean.
Areas least affected will be those between Lamia, Volos, Attica and the
northeast Peloponnese. EMY has issued a dangerous weather warning for
Saturday and Sunday throughout western Greece (Epirus, western Macedonia,
Ionian islands, western mainland and the west and southern Peloponnese),
where the forecast is for strong rains, storms and snow above 700m.
Bad weather is also forecast in the north and eastern Aegean and the
Dodecanese islands, including strong winds at sea. On Sunday, the stormy
weather will migrate south the Cyclades islands and Crete but temperatures
will remain relatively high due to the southerly winds.
The high winds may disrupt ferry services toward Aegean islands but
winds in the Ionian sea are not expected to exceed a breezy 4-5 Beaufort.
After abating briefly on Sunday, the bad conditions will return on Monday
and spread throughout the country, with a gradual improvement expected
from Tuesday afternoon.
