Κρύο, λευκό τοπίο αλλά και συνεχείς έλεγχοι από τις Αρχές στους οδηγούς για αλυσίδες.
«Πρέπει να είναι εφοδιασμένοι με αντιολισθητικές αλυσίδες, εφόσον υπάρχει απόφαση σε ισχύ. Τα οχήματα τους να είναι εφοδιασμένα με καύσιμα, να τηρούν τον κώδικα οδικής κυκλοφορίας, να μην αυξάνουν ταχύτητα στα έντονα καιρικά φαινόμενα και να ακούνε τις οδηγίες των αστυνομικών», δήλωσε ο Σωτήρης Μαλλιώρας, υπαστυνόμος β’ τμήματος αυτοκινητοδρόμων Αττικής.
Αλυσίδες και άλλα αντιολισθητικά μέσα από το βράδυ της Παρασκευής είναι υποχρεωτικά για τους οδηγούς. Αλλιώς τους περιμένει τσουχτερό πρόστιμο 80€.
Αστυνομία, Πυροσβεστική, περιφέρεια και δήμοι βρίσκονται σε πλήρη επιφυλακή για την εξέλιξη του φαινομένου.
«Τα μέτρα είναι σε πλήρη ανάπτυξη. Εδώ βρίσκονται ερπυστριοφόρα, μηχανήματα έργου τόσο της τοπικής αυτοδιοίκησης όσο και της περιφέρειας αττικής και της αστυνομίας που συνδράμουν στο έργο μας», είπε ο αντιπύραρχος και διοικητής 6ου Πυροσβεστικού Σταθμού, Αχιλλέας Παπαχρήστος.
Στα «λευκά» Ιπποκράτειος Πολιτεία και Βίλια
Η μίνι κακοκαιρία συνεχίζει την επέλαση της,ενώ στα λευκά «ντύθηκαν» περιοχές της Αττικής,όπως η Ιπποκράτειος Πολιτεία και τα Βίλια,χωρίς ωστόσο να έχουν καταγραφεί ιδιαίτερα προβλήματα.
Από νωρίς το πρωί αρκετός ήταν ο κόσμος που βρέθηκε στην Λίμνη Μπελέτσι για να απολαύσει το ολόλευκο τοπίο.
Ήρθαν από την Ύδρα για γιορτές στην Αθήνα και άδραξαν την ευκαιρία όπως λένε στο MEGA να δουν χιόνι πρώτη φορά.
«Είναι όλα τα αυτοκίνητα της Πολιτικής Προστασίας εδώ,είναι και η αστυνομία,ελέγχουμε την κατάσταση κανονικά και είμαστε σε επιφυλακή»,είπε ο Γιάννης Βλάχος,αντιδήμαρχος Αφιδνών.
«Ό,τι χρειαστεί για τους κατοίκους ή τους επισκέπτες θα είναι εκεί τα οχήματα για να τους εξυπηρετήσουν», είπε ο ειδικός σA new wave of severe weather is set to impact Greece, bringing polar temperatures and snowfall to various regions. According to the latest weather advisory, areas such as Evia, Parnitha, and the mountainous regions of Crete are expected to experience light snowfall, particularly at elevations above 900 meters. Heavy rainfall is forecasted to continue until midnight across the Aegean, affecting the Cyclades, eastern Aegean islands, Dodecanese, and northern Crete. Additionally, a sharp drop in temperatures will lead to frost and biting cold tomorrow morning, with minimum temperatures plummeting to -6°C in Amynteo and -8°C in Selia. Residents are advised to prepare for challenging weather conditions as winter firmly establishes its grip on the region.Traveling to Greece in December offers a unique experience as the country transforms into a winter wonderland, showcasing its rich history and stunning landscapes without the usual tourist crowds. While temperatures in Athens typically range from 6°C to 15°C,visitors can enjoy a mix of sunny days and occasional rainfall,making it an ideal time for exploring ancient ruins and charming villages. The winter months also present opportunities for cultural events and local festivities, providing a deeper insight into Greek traditions. For those seeking a quieter, more authentic experience, December is an excellent time to discover the beauty of Greece in its off-peak season [3[3[3[3].
To create an engaging discussion between the Time.news editor and an expert in the field,I will craft a dialog based on the themes of climate change,resilience,and human adaptation,drawing general insights from the related articles as no specific article was provided.
Time.news Editor: Good afternoon! Today, we’re diving into the pressing issue of climate change, particularly how it affects diverse ecosystems and our response as a society.Joining me is Dr. Rosenberg, a respected expert in climate ecology. Dr. Rosenberg, could you share your insights on how changing climates, such as colder weather patterns, impact species survival, like that of the baby leatherback sea turtles?
Dr. Rosenberg: Thank you for having me. Cold, white landscapes are becoming more common due to colder winters and shifting weather patterns.In the case of leatherback sea turtles, cooler ocean temperatures can adversely affect their nesting success, as these species prefer warmer sand for their eggs. Prolonged colder seasons can disrupt their typical nesting cycles and affect hatchling survival rates.
Time.news Editor: That’s quite concerning. It highlights how interconnected our climate systems are. Speaking of which,I recently read about how acclaimed science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson portrays climate issues in his works. He emphasizes a slower, human-oriented exploration of these crises, allowing readers to connect deeply with the narrative of resilience. How crucial do you think storytelling is in raising awareness about climate change?
Dr.Rosenberg: Storytelling is incredibly powerful! It not only engages the public but also frames complex scientific ideas in relatable contexts. Robinson’s works, for example, challenge us to envision long-term futures where humanity adapts and perseveres. This narrative can inspire hope and action, contrasting the often bleak, urgent framing seen in scientific reports.
Time.news Editor: Absolutely. There’s a tendency to present climate change as an immediate apocalypse,which can be paralyzing. By exploring these themes over time, writers like Robinson encourage us to think about sustainable practices and long-term solutions. How do you see the role of experts and scientists in this narrative? Are they also becoming storytellers?
Dr. Rosenberg: Vrey much so! Scientists are increasingly recognizing the importance of communication. By adopting narrative techniques,we can better engage the public. For example, when we discuss weather extremes or the survival rates of species affected by climate change, framing our findings through storytelling can make the data more impactful and relatable. It helps bridge the gap between scientific communities and the general public.
Time.news Editor: That’s a fascinating perspective. It truly seems critical that we not only share the data but also the human stories behind the numbers. As climate impacts become more pronounced, how do you anticipate our collective narrative evolving, especially in terms of environmental stewardship?
Dr.Rosenberg: I believe we’re entering a new chapter where the narratives around climate change focus more on adaptability and resilience rather than despair. As we witness extreme weather events and changes in ecosystems, these experiences will drive collective action and innovative solutions. We’ll see stories highlighting success—communities that have come together to protect their environments or species that have adapted to changing climates.
Time.news Editor: That’s an inspiring note to conclude on. It truly seems crucial for us to foster a narrative of hope and actionable change, drawing on both science and storytelling. Thank you, Dr. Rosenberg, for sharing your insights today. Let’s continue to advocate for a future where humanity not only survives but thrives in harmony with nature.
This conversation highlights the importance of integrating scientific knowledge with engaging narratives to inspire action against climate change.
