Scientists from EMY and the National Observatory of Athens have been put on alert, closely following the course of bad weather “Ianos”, which is advancing towards the west of the country.
Due to bad weather, EMY issued a deterioration emergency bulletin, while the meteo.gr service of the National Observatory of Athens presented the scenarios for the path that the “front” will follow.
What both organizations are converging on is that the weather will be particularly intense, with heavy rains, thunderstorms and strong winds that will hit a significant part of the country. This is the reason for the extraordinary meeting called at the Operations Center of the General Secretariat for Civil Protection.

With a red warning the EMY emergency – What does it mean?

“TAKE precautionary measures, be vigilant and act in accordance with the advice of the competent authorities. Check the weather reports and expect significant impacts on your daily activities.”
Kolydas (EMY): Attica and Peloponnese in “red”
HE Thodoris Kolydassays the director of the EMY National Weather Center iefimerida.gr that the initial mark was yellow, as every time, but then “taking into account the new data we put the indicator in red, which refers to the Peloponnesus and Attica».
Mr. Kolydas stated that there is concern about the “tricks” of the Mediterranean cyclone and that EMY is monitoring its progress minute by minute.
“The word ‘cyclone’ refers to American events, with vast areas affected by intense events. But here in the Mediterranean its behavior is different. A low one is called a cyclone because it spins like a circle. Mediterranean cyclones are smaller and the way they form is difficult to detect. However, this case needs attention, ”explains meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas.
Lagouvardos (meteo.gr): The question is the orbit of the cyclone
At the same time, the meteorologist Lagouvardos coast, director of research at the National Observatory of Athens, supported speaking with iefimerida.gr that “there are several scenarios that are updated every 6 hours and give a deviation of up to 50 kilometers. Orbit is the big question. The predominant scenario is to see the most intense phenomena in West, central -including the Attica– and to the south country. But there is a scenario that shows northern greece be more severely affected. We will have more information tonight and especially tomorrow morning ”.
According to Mr. Lagouvardos, the phenomena will occur around the center of the cyclone and will be essentially “high levels of rain, winds, strong waves on the coast.” It’s a dangerous combination ”, he points out and adds:
“The equivalent we saw in 2018 had 400 millimeters of rain, 4 deaths, major disasters in Phthiotida and the Peloponnese. It was an impressive rain. That is why we are seriously evaluating the current situation. “
Satellite images of the cyclone published by meteo.gr:
