The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) issued an update to its special bulletin ahead of the anticipated severe weather expected to impact most of the country from Sunday until Tuesday morning. 

The weather will steadily deteriorate from late Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening, according to an emergency advisory issued by the National Meteorological Service (EMY).

Heavy showers and thunderstorms, as well as strong gusts, will be the primary elements of the weather shift.

A low pressure system from the northwest accompanied by a cold front will bring adverse weather conditions over the weekend, with gale force winds throughout the country accompanied by heavy rain and storms in the northern and eastern parts of the country.

The National Meteorological Service (EMY) said temperatures in the north will drop by 6 to 8 degrees Celsius.

Although the daily temperatures are still higher than the average for this time of year, with the coming cooling, the weather conditions are in accordance with the season, and by the end of the month more precipitation is expected, rain in the lower areas and snow in the higher areas.

The unprecedented summer weather conditions that prevailed until Wednesday throughout Greece gave way to heavy rain, which flooded streets of the western port city of Patra, on Thursday. Serious problems were also caused both on the old national road and the new Patra-Corinth highway, where landslides occurred.
