The ATENA bad weather that is expected in the next few hours was the reason for the meeting of the Scientific Risk Assessment Committee, while at this time an inter-ministerial meeting is being held under the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilia.
“Based on the extensive information provided by the Risk Assessment Committee and according to the EMY bulletin, from tonight and for the next few days dangerous weather phenomena will occur in many areas of the country”, while he pointed out that “this is not a summer instability, but for an autumnal system.’ “Practically, this means that the bad weather will last longer, so local flooding is not ruled out”, underlined Mr. Kikilias.
The Kikilia statement
“Based on the extensive information provided by the Risk Assessment Committee and according to the EMY bulletin, dangerous weather phenomena will occur in many areas of the country starting tonight and for the next few days.
This is not a summer instability, but an autumn system. In practice, this means that the bad weather will last longer, so local flooding is not excluded.
More specifically, from this evening until the early hours of the morning, large amounts of rain will occur mainly in the Ionian, while Epirus, Western Mainland and Western Peloponnese will also be affected.
Also, tomorrow from the early hours of the morning until the afternoon, the bad weather will affect Western and Central Macedonia, as well as Northern and Western Thessaly.
An inter-ministerial committee meeting has already been convened with the participation of all the involved bodies, i.e. the security forces and the armed forces, the local government, the concessionaire highways, etc. for the preparation and coordination of the state mechanism”.
