An alarm has sounded in the state apparatus after the emergency weather report issued by the National Meteorological Service for the new wave of bad weather that is just around the corner and is expected to hit our country.
According to the meteorologists, the effects will be strong and lasting, while they will affect several regions of the country, including Thessaly, which is still measuring its wounds from the bad weather “Daniel”.
Already today, an extraordinary inter-ministerial meeting was held under the Minister of Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilia, while a second one is expected to take place. The bad weather is expected to last until at least Wednesday.
The Marousakis forecast: Which areas will receive the largest volume
“After a summer weekend with high temperatures comes a new wave of bad weather which will once again affect the geographical areas affected by Daniel. This wave will have both intensity and duration. The effects will start on Sunday morning in the North West and on Monday they will concern most of the Central and North country. Unfortunately, Thessaly is also among the areas that will get a lot of water,” said the meteorologist, Clearchos Marousakis.
“Unfortunately in this bad weather too it seems that Thessaly will somehow be in the spotlight, not at the levels that were bad weather Daniel. From Monday noon, Tuesday, Wednesday, a large volume of water will also fall in the area of Thessaly, especially towards the western and northern parts. He wants attention” he added.
“Until Wednesday, the wave of bad weather will hit eastern and central Thessaly as well as Halkidiki. A lot of attention from the Peloponnese and above” he concluded.
