Regional weather instability and yellow weather warnings issued

A low-pressure system originating from the Aegean region has been affecting the area since October 28, 2026, leading to unstable weather conditions characterized by heavy thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds. The Department of Meteorology issued a series of yellow weather warnings, including an alert effective from October 29 between 09:00 and 17:00, where rainfall intensity was predicted to range between 35 and 55 millimeters per hour. Wind gusts during these storms reached up to 7 or 8 Beaufort, causing localized disruptions across the island.

Following the initial severe weather, the system began to move eastward and weaken by late October 29. As of October 30, a weak low-pressure system remains in the area, resulting in intermittently increased cloud cover and isolated rain, primarily in mountainous regions. Temperatures have stabilized near seasonal norms, with highs around 23 to 26 degrees Celsius in inland areas and lows dropping to approximately 3 to 5 degrees Celsius in higher mountainous zones. The weather is expected to remain somewhat unsettled through the weekend, with intermittent clouds and potential localized rain or brief storms during the afternoon hours.
