The weather's instability in our country continues for the 9th consecutive day. According to the latest predictions, on June 2nd, rain and storms are expected from noon both in mainland and island areas. Thunderstorms will be accompanied by hail and intense electrical activity. Citizens need to be extra carefull, as there is an increased risk rate during those days. The departments of EPOMEA across Greece will be on constant alert and always in touch with the local administration officers, municipalities and the Fire Department, for immediate intervention wherever and whenever it is necessary.

June kicked off with severe weather in Attica as well. A strong storm occurred on Monday afternoon, which was accompanied by hail in Pefki, Kifissia and Lykovrysi. The effects were intense, as according to the "eye" of the Meteosat-10 meteorological satellite, the height of the storm cloud reached a height of 10 kilometers.

At the same time, heavy rains were recorded by the meteorological stations of the National Observatory of Athens. It is characteristic that in the station of Agia Paraskevi 27 mm of rain were recorded in about an hour, while in Maroussi 29 mm of rain were recorded in the same period. Problems arose locally, mainly in the North.

In the course of the weather, everything shows that the unstable profile will continue, however, gradually from Friday the temperature will start to rise, which at the weekend will return to the normal levels for the season and will reach 30 to 32 degrees. It is worth noting that the temperature is about 4 to 6 degrees below normal levels.

The daily occurrence of rains and storms is due to the creation of a "Cold Lake" in Eastern Europe that creates instability, both due to the cold gas masses that accompany it, and the atmospheric disturbances that surround it. The "Cold Lake" is stationary in the area for several days, bringing an early autumn.
