.... just like it started(*).
A heavy thunderstorm hit Athens this evening, mostly after 11pm local time, affecting the whole prefecture of Attica, NE Peloponnese, Evia island, Boeotia and Fthiotida (ie eastern central continental Greece). More than 81 discharges/minute (and it wasn't just the idea of the lightning maps!), flash floods, thunders striking the ground and a peak rainfall intensity of 221.7 mm/h at 2318C. The downpour didn't last too long (at this site), so only 10-20 mm were recorded in the eastern/southeastern suburbs. Now still overcast with occasional light rain showers. Heavy rainfalls were reported from much of continental Greece throughout the day -Thessaloniki was quite wet to say the least- after the last few foggy days. Snow has been falling over higher grounds in the north of the country since the afternoon. More heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are forecast for the next couple of days in the west and north of the country, where it hasn't been too dry at all. (*) every month since February 2004 has been drier than usual in Athens. Relatively dry weather started right after the severe blizzards of February 12th-14th. The heavy snowfalls of January 1992 and January 2002 were also followed by dry spells. Yannis, SE Athens +17.4C, RH 84%, SLP 1020.5 hPa |
