The weather is changing rapidly, with cold air masses arriving in Greece from the Balkans that will cause a significant drop in temperature, protothema.gr reports.
Stormy to very stormy north winds will prevail in the Aegean today, Friday, according to the latest forecast data of the National Observatory of Athens.
Winds in the North Aegean will reach 8 Beaufort, while in the Central and South Aegean will reach 8 and in places 9 Beaufort.

At the same time, rainfall will occur principally in Eastern Central Greece and the Peloponnese, Evia, the Cyclades, and Crete. The phenomena in the north and at the mountains of Crete will last throughout the day and will be strong in places, while there is a possibility of sporadic thunderstorms.
