Thodoris Kolydas, director of the EMY National Meteorological Center told iefimerida.gr that the initial mark was yellow, as always, but then “taking into account the new data we put the indicator in red, which concerns the Peloponnese and Attica.”
For his part, the meteorologist Costas Lagouvardos, director of research at the National Observatory of Athens, told iefimerida.gr that “there are several scenarios that are updated every 6 hours and give a deviation of up to 50 kilometers. The orbit is the big question. The predominant scenario is to see the most intense phenomena in the western, central country -including Attica- and the south. However, there is a scenario that shows that northern Greece is being hit the hardest. We will have more data mainly in the morning ”.
