The week in Artemida and Spata begins with rain and thunderstorms until Tuesday 3 November and ends with northerly winds and the first real chill of autumn. From Wednesday, the weather will clear up, but from Thursday 5 November the wind will veer north and pick up, with gusts of around 55–60 km/h, whilst in the early hours of Sunday 8 November, the temperature may drop to 5–7 degrees.
Sunday to Tuesday: rain and thunderstorms
Sunday 1 November is most likely to see showers, with two ‘waves’: one around 09:00 and a heavier one in the afternoon, approximately 15:00–18:00. The models forecast a total of 9 to 14 millimetres of rain for our area, accompanied by thunderstorms. Temperatures will range from 15 to 20 degrees.
On Monday 2 November, the rain will return from midday: the heaviest rainfall will be between 11:00 and 16:00, which is when schools finish, with a corresponding amount of rainfall (9–13 millimetres). Tuesday 3 November begins with rain in the early hours (around 03:00–07:00) and the system clears by morning. Tuesday will also be the warmest day of the week, with a maximum of 21 degrees, but with a south-westerly wind that will pick up (gusts of 45–49 km/h).
Three days of rain and thunderstorms mean water on the streets, which flood every time. If you see a drain blocked by leaves or branches, the Council’s Civil Protection Department can be contacted on 693 263 1740 and 697 323 4382, and the branches will be cleared by the relevant service on 22944 40858. For emergencies, dial 112.
Wednesday: the day the weather clears up
Wednesday 4 November will be dry, with a few clouds and temperatures of 12–20 degrees. However, the wind has already turned north, and it’s the best day of the week for anything that requires dry weather and calm conditions: hanging out the washing, clearing the gutters, and bringing in pots and awnings before the northerly winds set in.
Thursday to Saturday: northerly winds and a drop in temperature
From Thursday 5 November, a north–north-easterly wind of force 5 on the Beaufort scale will be blowing, with gusts reaching force 7 (55–62 km/h) on Thursday and Saturday 7 November. No rain, but the maximum temperature will drop to 14–16 degrees and the minimum to 8–11. Along the coast, from Loutsa to the port of Artemida, the north wind will cause rough seas; those with boats in the cove are advised to check their moorings from Wednesday. With a north wind of force 7 on the Beaufort scale in the Aegean, ferry services from Rafina may be affected; before setting off for the port, check with the Rafina Port Authority or the ferry company.
Strong gusts of wind are causing branches to fall onto power lines. Please report any power cuts to HEDNO on 11500 or 800 400 4000.
Sunday 8 November: the first chilly morning
The wind will drop on Sunday and the sky will be clear, allowing the temperature to fall overnight. In Artemida, temperatures are expected to be 5–7 degrees in the early hours, and in Spata, which is further inland and at a higher altitude, as low as 4 degrees. For many households, this will be the first day they switch on the heating.
The forecasts change after the fourth day. The three models we compared agree on the pattern for the week (rain, followed by a northerly wind, followed by cold weather) but differ by 2–4 degrees in the weekend’s minimum temperatures.
