2022-01-23 19:24:21

This time, due to the weather front aptly named Elpida (Ελπίδα, meaning hope), it became white in various regions of Greece. Most of the area of Crete, part of the Aegean islands and the northern Dodecanese, eastern central Greece are covered with snow. The inhabitants of Attica and the island of Evia also received warnings. Even the people of Mykonos this morning rubbed their eyes in amazement, because it also sprinkled snow here. Locals say that the last time such amount of snow fell on the Cyclades decades ago. Apart from snow, Elpida brought low temperatures for Greece and strong winds. Such a weather compilation was synonymous with a whole series of difficulties.

In Crete, so far snow has appeared only in higher-situated villages and mountainous areas. This time, thanks to Elpida, he also reached low-lying regions. Even in Heraklion has turned white from noon. Additionally, from Monday in the area of Crete, stormy winds with a strength of 8 to 9 on the Beaufort scale are expected. All services are on high alert and special warnings have been issued to residents.

Due to the difficult weather conditions, anti-skid chains are mandatory on some roads in Chania and Lassithi. Some roads in the Prefecture of Rethymno and Heraklion have been excluded from traffic due to heavy snowfall. Local authorities ask drivers to be cautious about the entire road network and to refrain from traveling if the situation does not require it. It will be frosty locally at night and early in the morning.

The wave of bad weather is expected to intensify especially on Monday, so for this reason it was decided to temporarily close some schools located in those areas where the weather conditions would be particularly troublesome. According to the announcement, snowfall in Crete is expected to last until next Tuesday and will be quite intense. In the lowlands and coastal areas, you can also expect snowfall during the day. The weather is not expected to start improving until Thursday.

Czyli jednak jak się chce uciec przed zimą ale nie opuszczać UE to tylko Wyspy Kanaryjskie. Na Grand Canarii w dzień 21 - 18 stopni a w nocy nie spada poniżej 15.
