Events will slow down on Thursday, then another change will come and it will take over the next day,” he said in his post.

Marousakis: Change of scenery

Meteorologist Clearchos Marousakis also posted about the impending change in weather. OPEN’s meteorologist, in a post on Facebook, predicted rain and storms, as well as strong winds, in our country from Monday.

However, as mentioned by the meteorologist, winter will not appear until the end of the month, while he believes that we will get a normal winter scene in February.

Marousakis post about bad weather

Clearchos Marousakis wrote about this on Facebook today (7/1):

«Bad weather in front of the gate

After several days of summer, a depression from Central Europe will try to remind us of something from the advanced autumn in our country, causing short bad weather with the main characteristics of rain – storms and strengthened winds in our seas.

There will also be snow from the mountains of the central and northern mainland. We had to reach the middle of January to remember something about the bad weather in our country.

I recall in this space our long-term assessment from the beginning of December, presented on our TV show #OPENnews, where we talked about a spring Christmas more reminiscent of Easter than Christmas, to various reactions. . Following our latest assessment a few days later we predicted mild – spring weather until Epiphany, and here we were vindicated.

Trend till end of month

The long-term models we run at our station do not produce any significant winter views until the end of the month. This situation is due to the strong movement of depressions in the North Atlantic Ocean and is clearly linked to the extreme-extreme weather conditions that North America has been experiencing recently.

This flow of planetary Rossby tides prevents the Azores atmospheric mountain from rising to high latitudes to bring the polar air further south. All this flow prevents Siberia’s atmospheric mountain from moving further west and south. Therefore, until the end of the month we should not expect significant and particularly prolonged cold. We can see some “fireballs” of cold, but they don’t make an organized winter scene.

Do penguins come after alkyonids?

The development we described above could lead to a deep winter in February, but we still don’t have enough data to do a deeper analysis.

Presumably this strong westerly flow or zonal circulation will at some point end or weaken enough to allow atmospheric ridges to move further north to reduce cooling. It may seem far off to emerge as an estimate, but we should be prepared for such things as experience takes us there.

Below is a color chart showing the approximate precipitation expected Monday afternoon through Wednesday evening. The darker the colors, the more serious consequences are predicted. Happy birthday to those who celebrate!
