Sand over Greece
O/H Gavin Staples έγραψε:
Amazing, Yannis, what sort of temperatures are you expecting in the next few days? I had a look at the chart and you are getting a hefty dose of sand from Libya. The dust itself has kept surface temperatures low here (max of +23.7C with T850 at around +13C -sorry, the sounding for Sunday noon appears to be a mess, might be a result of the dust itself?). Northern Crete, however, made it to +28C with the help of katabatic winds. Monday should see a drop in temperature as cooler air masses are approaching from Italy. Thunderstorms should develop especially over western, northern and northwestern Greece and the northeastern Aegean sea. Temperature maxima should range between 18C and 23C. Yannis, SE Athens +14.0C, RH 67%, SLP 1002.8 hPa considerably clearer atmosphere |
