The low pressure system that has brought this inclement weather to the central Mediterranean should remain almost stationary over our region till Friday 01/11. There will be further showers that will be heavy, thundery, blustery and also possibly with hail at times. A further 30 mm to 50 mm could be measured in the wettest localities till this Friday 01/11.
