Greece: Ready for the Cold Weather Front with Rain and Snow? Nov 11-14

Posted by keeptalkinggreece in weather

Have you noticed already, a kind of icy cold air coming through? Of course, you haven’t. Because in contrast to me you have balcony doors closed lol Being kind of …suspicious about news claiming a bad weather front coming to Greece, I asked a meteorologist friend this morning, whether I should lay the carpets. Her answer was very clear: “Do it! Do it!”. Because,  temperatures will drop, strong winds will blow, rain will pour and even snow will fall over the weekend across the country.

The main features of  this bad weather front are:

• The sharp drop of temperatures at around 10 degrees Celsius,  until Monday 14/11

• Very stormy winds in the Aegean Sea, reaching 9 or even 10 Beaufort. The strong winds with 9 B intensity will blow also in Attica area and are expected to make things extremely difficult for the Athens Marathon runners (Sunday, No 13th)

• Rain will pour locally in eastern and southern areas of Greece.

• Snow will fall in mountainous and hilly parts of the country.

You still have time to get your supplies: wood for the fire place, sweet tea, fluffy cakes and hot soups :)

PS As I usuallys lay the carpets shorty before Christmas… I have a strong desire for a … Xmas tree :)
