Greece Braces for 3-Day Weather Siege: Heavy Snow and Storms Incoming

09:14 31/1/2026 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

A powerful weather front is set to batter Greece starting Saturday afternoon, bringing heavy rain, thunderstorms, and low-altitude snowfall in a multi-day event expected to last through Monday.

The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY)

warned that the system will intensify rapidly over the next 24 hours. While initially affecting western regions, the deterioration will be widespread, peaking on Sunday with dangerous lightning and hail.

Meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis highlighted the risk of "substantial snowfall" reaching areas well below typical mountain snow lines.

Mr. Marousakis described the system as seasonally typical but potent, urging residents to monitor updates as the storm's intensity fluctuates.

"Weather systems are not fixed or identical as they move," Mr. Marousakis said.

Fellow meteorologist Theodoros Kolydas pointed to the system's "strong atmospheric dynamics," which are likely to produce persistent downpours capable of causing localized flooding.

Mr. Kolydas forecasts the severe conditions will persist through Monday night before tapering off midweek.

Authorities have advised citizens to limit unnecessary movement, warning of potential disruptions to road networks and ferry services across the country.
