Yannis, SE Athens
+11.6C, dropping slowly
+TSRA


and a brief but very heavy hail shower that caused some problems in the
roads network. Maximum rainfall intensity reached 385.1 mm/h some half

an
hour ago; this value might have been overestimated because of the hail,

but
the event surely made the heavy downpours of summer 2002 (180 mm/h) seem
like drizzle...
987.4 hPa now, winds are now blowing from the NNE, while the northern
suburbs of Athens are at +3.6C (drop by 5C in 40 minutes without hail
there).

Yannis, SE Athens
+8.7C, RH 90%
32.5 mm of rain since 1900B


Hi Yannis,

Thessaloniki looks very cold at the moment. Air temperature hovering
around
freezing point with a wind gusting to near 50KT.

LGTS 221750Z 33037G48KT 9999 SCT035 BKN070 00/M08 Q1003 NOSIG=
LGTS 221720Z 33035G48KT 9999 SCT040 BKN080 BKN180 01/M08 Q1002 NOSIG=

That gives a windchill, taking 37KT mean, of MS19 deg C.

Joe
