Weather: Where the most rain “fell” and which area is at risk
The bad weather “Atena” continues today Tuesday (10.09.2024) to “hit” the country, with the Ionian, Epirus, Central Greece and the Peloponnese being at the center of the rain and storms. Bad weather “Atena” goes into its second phase today, while at the same time meteo has uploaded a table to show how much rain fell in the morning. According to the information from the Meteo, the first two places on the list were occupied by Zakynthos and Corfu with 70 mm. The specific Ionian islands have been “beating” since last night to the rhythm of the bad weather with the fire department pumping water and extricating citizens from their cars.
In third place came Sagaiika Achaia with 57 mm and in fourth again Corfu with the settlement of Petalia also gathering 57 mm. Then followed Paxos (55 mm), Olenia Achaia (50 mm), Lappa Achaia (50 mm) and lower Achaia (36 mm).
Storm Atena: These areas will be affected – Which area is at risk?
OPEN’s meteorologist, Clearchos Marousakis, made a new forecast for the ATENA bad weather that is affecting the country. Particular attention to the instructions for the management of bad weather is required from citizens in the next few hours. The updated Emergency Bulletin of Weather Deterioration from the National Meteorological Service (EMY) speaks of intense phenomena, while the meteorologist of OPEN, Klearchos Marousakis, warns of such phenomena with strong storms, hail and increased lightning activity.
As he states in his post, “in the second phase of the wave of bad weather we are expected to spend the next few hours where the heavy rains and storms that affected the western parts during the night but also in the morning hours (rain heights locally from 40mm to 70mm), will shift further east affecting much of the central and northern country.”
According to what he points out, because this passage of bad weather is expected to coincide with the midday and afternoon hours where, due to the season, the thermal instability is activated, attention is needed since this factor will further strengthen the phenomena we expect.

The third phase of the bad weather is expected from the evening today and until the evening approximately tomorrow and will concern the eastern Aegean and the northern northeastern parts of our country.
As far as the prefecture of Attica is concerned, we do not expect anything remarkable, in contrast to the prefecture of Thessaloniki, where things will be clearly more difficult – dangerous.
Further south, the weather is expected to be better with longer periods of sunshine, while the heat will be limited in the northeastern Aegean. In the rest of the country it will remain in “cool” temperatures, with maximums ranging from 27 to 30 degrees Celsius.
According to Klearchos Marousakis, from this evening until midday – Wednesday afternoon, bad weather Atena will move northeast. At the center of bad weather will therefore be the eastern Aegean, the Dodecanese, Thrace and eastern Macedonia.
The main reason for this change in weather is the change in the atmospheric circulation over Europe as well as the position of the jet stream over the Mediterranean, which has contributed to the development of a barometric low over the area of Italy. The air current is a strong current of air at a height of about 10-11 kilometers from the surface of the Earth with movement basically from west to east and its movement determines the creation and movement of barometric systems.
According to the EMY’s forecast for Tuesday, heavy rains and storms are predicted until midday in the Ionian Islands, Epirus, western Sterea and western Peloponnese, where the effects are predicted to be particularly intense until the morning hours, from dawn to late afternoon in western Macedonia and Thessaly. From the midday hours in central and eastern Macedonia and the Sporades and from the evening in Thrace and the islands of the northern and eastern Aegean.
In particular, in the Ionian, the continental and gradually in the rest of the island country, the rains and sporadic storms will be strong in places until the midday hours. The Ionian Islands, Epirus, western Sterea and western Peloponnese are initially affected, while from early morning until late afternoon, western Macedonia and Thessaly are at the center of the bad weather “Athena”. Then, central and eastern Macedonia and the Sporades will be affected – from the midday hours – and from the evening Thrace and the islands of the northern and eastern Aegean.
Winds will blow from southerly directions 3 to 5, in the seas 6 and in the Ionian temporarily locally up to 7 Beaufort, turning from the afternoon to the west to northwest up to 5 Beaufort.
The temperature will drop slightly mainly in the west and will reach 26 to 28 degrees in the western and northern continental areas and 29 to 31 degrees Celsius in the rest of the country.
112 rang in Western Greece
In Western Greece and in areas of Thessaly and Macedonia, the 112 alert has already been sounded, which warns of extreme weather phenomena and calls on citizens to limit their movements from the afternoon until noon tomorrow.
