Weather: Heat, afternoon storms and strong meltemi will compose the scene of the next few days
Colder air masses descend towards the country from central and eastern Europe, bringing rains, locally strong storms, increased winds and a gradual decline in the mercury from Friday. Meteorologists recommend paying special attention to lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind
The weather scene changes from Friday onwards, as colder air masses from central and eastern Europe head towards the Balkans and gradually affect our country. The change will be accompanied by a noticeable drop in temperature, increased winds and the occurrence of rains and storms in several areas.

According to meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas in his post, atmospheric instability is expected to increase from Friday, resulting in rain and sporadic storms mainly in Macedonia, Thrace, Epirus, Thessaly, Central Greece and the mountainous parts of the Peloponnese.

The phenomena will not have the same intensity everywhere, however, in places they may be strong, with heavy rainfall, increased electrical activity, possible hail and strong gusts of wind.

At the same time, the temperature will begin to drop initially in the northern and central parts of the country, while later the colder air mass will expand further south. On Saturday, the drop in mercury is expected to become more noticeable in most continental areas.

At the same time, the north and northwest winds are strengthening, mainly in the Aegean, further contributing to the drop in temperature and the reduction of the feeling of discomfort from the heat.

The well-known meteorologist points out that this is not an organized wave of bad weather that will uniformly affect the entire country, but an episode of summer instability with local strong characteristics. For this reason, he draws attention mainly to the strong storms, lightning, possible hail and sudden increases in winds that may accompany the phenomena.
