According to the latest update by the National Observatory of Athens weather service meteo.gr, which released models of the Mediterranean hurricane’s expected course and rainfall intensity over the next 48 hours (see images above), the eye of the Medicane is expected to reach the south shores of the Peloponnese between 15:00 and 18:00 on Saturday, ANA reports.
The meteo.gr models have also predicted waves surpassing 11 metres in height between the Peloponnese and Crete.
Schools in the Peloponnese, Attica and other areas of Greece will be closed on Friday as a precaution though ferries in the Saronic Gulf were running normally on Friday morning, with the exception of two scheduled hydrofoil journeys in the early morning. Passengers are advised to contact port authorities or their travel agents before departure to ensure that scheduled journeys will be taking place.
