The good weather days look like they won’t last long and the scenery will change.
The forecast of the American GFS model gives snow mainly in northwestern Greece on Saturday 11/23. There is still a chance of snowfall for the islands of the northeastern Aegean, with Lemnos at the center.
Then cold air masses are expected to move towards Turkey.
Kolydas: Two atmospheric disturbances are coming
Our country is affected by two atmospheric disturbances, according to the director of EMY, Thodoris Kolidas.
As it typically states “the first Wednesday to Thursday and the other on Friday to Saturday which will cause rains, storms, very strong southerlies and snow in the mountains in the “turn” of the weather on Saturday”.
Type “P” weather will bring high levels of rain that will affect western, northern Greece and the eastern Aegean.
In fact, he clarifies that the use of the term “type P bad weather” is not correct. “The expression “bad weather P” that is used very often by the media is not correct, as the weather of “P” is simply a type of weather, caused when a W-SW current blows in the middle levels of the atmosphere above our country where an important role is played by the orography as well as the Aegean” he wrote in X.

The weather today, Wednesday 20/11
Today the weather will change, with rains, southerlies and rising temperatures, MEGA meteorologist Christina Rigou says in her forecast. Rains are forecast in several regions of the country, which due to the transport of African dust, in the southernmost parts of the country, will be muddy rains.
The weather is expected to be unsettled with clouds and rain of moderate intensity throughout western Greece, Thrace and the eastern Aegean. Weak local rains are expected in the Cyclades and Crete, while in the evening in the west they will strengthen, and in the northern Ionian and Epirus, storms will occur.
In the rest of the country, temporary clouds are expected.
The temperature will rise and reach at noon 17-20 in the north, 19-21 in the west, 22 in the eastern continental and up to 22 maximum values in the Aegean. Temperatures 4-5 degrees higher than November levels.
Winds will blow from southwesterly directions on the seas at strong intensities of 5-7 Beaufort in both the Ionian and the Aegean.
In Attica, sunny and clear weather will prevail, with a little cloudiness in the evening hours. The temperature will be 21 degrees and the winds will blow from southwesterly directions in the surrounding sea areas 3-5 Beaufort.
In Thessaloniki, temporarily increased clouds are predicted during the day. The temperature will be 19 degrees and the winds will blow from various directions 2-3 Beaufort, in the afternoon they will turn southerly.

## World Today News Exclusive Interview: Winter’s Coming
**Welcome to World Today News! Today we’re discussing the changing weather patterns hitting Greece and beyond. We’re joined by Dr. Katerina Dimitriou, a leading climatologist, and George Papadopoulos, a seasoned meteorologist from MEGA TV. Welcome to the show!**
**Section 1: The Changing Forecast**
**(To Dr. Dimitriou)**
* The article mentions two atmospheric disturbances arriving in Greece. Could you explain what these disturbances are, what causes them, and what type of impact we can expect?
* The article also discusses the term “Type P bad weather.” Can you clarify what this type of weather is and why it’s so challenging to predict?
* Climate change is a significant factor in global weather patterns.
Do you believe these disturbances are indicative of larger climate shifts impacting Greece, and if so, what should we expect in the future?
**(To Mr. Papadopoulos)**
* The article mentions specific regions in Greece expected to be heavily affected. Can you elaborate on the potential impacts of the disturbances on these areas, especially concerning rainfall, wind, and snow?
* Your recent forecast highlighted rising temperatures, but the coming disturbances suggest a rapid shift towards colder weather. How do you predict this transition will play out over the next week?
* Can you provide any advice to viewers on how to best prepare for the change in weather conditions, especially those in vulnerable areas?
**Section 2: Impacts and Preparedness**
**(To both guests)**
* The article mentions “muddy rains” in southern Greece due to the transport of African dust. What are the potential health risks associated with such events, and what precautions should people take?
* The forecast predicts potentially strong winds. What safety measures should be considered in coastal areas, and what impact could these winds have on agricultural regions?
* Looking beyond the immediate weather event, what steps can individuals and communities take to prepare for more extreme weather events, potentially influenced by climate change, in the future?
**Section 3: Looking Ahead**
**(To both guests)**
* What are some reliable resources viewers can consult for up-to-date and accurate weather information as the situation evolves?
* Based on current long-range forecasts and historical data, what can we anticipate about the winter season as a whole in Greece?
* This weather event serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of our planet. What message would you like to leave viewers with regarding staying informed and adapting to our changing climate?
**Thank you, Dr. Dimitriou and Mr. Papadopoulos, for your valuable insights.
Thank you to our viewers for tuning in. Please stay safe and stay informed about the changing weather conditions in your area. **
This interview structure aims to be detailed and engaging, encouraging both experts to offer diverse perspectives while considering the potential impact on viewers. The use of open-ended questions allows for in-depth conversation and deeper understanding of the complex weather situation unfolding.
