The weather will deteriorate rapidly in the next few hours as the EMY updates the emergency bulletin it issued yesterday at midday.
The bad weather system called Bora,which is due to a low barometric pressure in the Ionian Sea that moves slowly to the east,causes bad weather in our contry,rain and storms that will be strong in some places untill Monday (02-12-2024). Simultaneously occurring, strong winds and local storms will prevail, and there will be heavy snow in the mountains of Macedonia and Epirus.
In more detail, provision is made for the following:
1. Heavy rain and storms
a. In the center and east of Macedonia and Thrace from the early hours of Saturday morning (30-11-24) to the hours of Monday morning (2-12-24).
It has been reported that in the center of Macedonia (and mainly in the prefectures of Halkidiki, Thessaloniki, Pieria and Imathia) the phenomena from Saturday evening (30-11-24) to Sunday evening (1-12-24) be especially severe
b. In the Ionian, in Epirus and in the western mainland from time to time until early Saturday evening (30-11-24)

3. Heavy snow will occur from Saturday evening (11-30-24) to sunday evening (1-12-24) in the mountains of Macedonia and Epirus.
A cold lake in the upper atmosphere will lead to bad weather
According to the prognostic data of meteo.gr / EAA, one of the main characteristics of the bad weather BORA during Saturday 30/11 and Sunday 01/12, will be heavy snow. The snowfall will be found in the mountains of the continent, especially in Central and Northern Greece, as well as in the lower altitude areas of Western Macedonia.
Heavy snowfall and high snow levels are expected in the city of Florina.
The forecast map shows the geographical distribution and the estimated cumulative amount of snow in the country until midday on Sunday 01/12.
The reason for this weather change will be an atmospheric disturbance in the middle troposphere which is expected to be isolated (cold lake – map 1) from the general atmospheric circulation and move slowly, first towards the Ionian South, and then towards the South Aegean. . Consequently of the slow movement of the cold lake and the barometric low associated with it, strong and continuous phenomena will be shown in many areas of the country.
rnrn
The western and southwestern mainlands, the areas of the eastern mainland that are wet with the Aegean, the evia, the Sporades, Halkidiki and parts of Central Macedonia will be more affected. Though,the phenomena will be significant in the rest of the country,with the exception of Thrace.
On Monday 02/12 the strongest phenomena will be located in the eastern and southern countries of the Cyclades, Crete and the Dodecanese, and we expect an improvement in the weather from Tuesday 03/12.
According to the Rainfall Episode Classification (RPI), implemented by the Meteo Unit of the National observatory of Athens, the expected rain event is classified as Category 5 (Extreme).
The forecast map below shows the estimated cumulative rainfall until the morning hours of Sunday 01/12/2024.
