Rain and locally strong thunderstorms are expected to begin in western Greece from midday on Sunday, 25 October, reaching Attica from midday as well.
Klearchos Marousakis names Monday, 26 October, and Tuesday, 27 October, as the two most dangerous days, with flood risk in central, eastern and southern Greece.
Temperatures are expected to drop roughly 4 to 6 degrees by Sunday, 25 October, as a cooler air mass replaces the warm one, after highs of 24 to 26 degrees on Friday, 23 October.
NewsIT says the bad weather lasts until Wednesday, 28 October, while in.gr places the system over eastern and southern sea areas on that day.
On Friday, 23 October, forecasts expect local rain and a few thunderstorms, mainly in the east, while other areas see periods of improvement. Temperatures should reach 24 to 26 degrees Celsius in several areas, and humid air is expected to stay in place. Attica is forecast between 15 and 25 degrees with northwesterly winds of 2 to 4 Beaufort, while Thessaloniki sees 13 to 23 degrees and some morning showers that ease by midday. Early-morning fog and limited visibility are possible in places, and winds reach 5 Beaufort locally.

According to ERT meteorologist Giorgos Emmanouil, the storm will start in western Greece and spread from there. From midday on Sunday, 25 October, rain and locally strong thunderstorms are expected in the west, led by the Ionian, the western mainland with emphasis on Epirus, western Sterea and the western Peloponnese. By evening the system should reach central and eastern Sterea and the southern mainland, and rain is expected in Attica from midday. Forecasters say a cooler air mass comes with the system after the warm air retreats from Saturday. Temperatures are expected to drop by roughly 4 to 6 degrees by Sunday.
Klearchos Marousakis, a meteorologist, names Monday, 26 October, and Tuesday, 27 October, as the two most dangerous days.
