2015 was a particularly creative year, as our seminars continued and expanded to areas outside of Attica, while at the same time new collaborations broadened our educational horizons.

Highlights for the coming year included the Modern Marine Meteorology seminar held in April in Chios, in May in Thessaloniki and in St. Petersburg. Also last November in collaboration with the wind farm construction company ENERCON, a general meteorology and forecasting seminar was held at the company's facilities in Greece for its executives. A special place in the educational year that is ending is occupied by the Nautical Meteorology seminar that took place last October in Syros, following an invitation from the Inflatable Boats and Speedboats group of the island.

At the same time, last November, our new collaboration was inaugurated with the currently largest company providing meteorological forecasts in the maritime sector, AWTThe result of this collaboration is the provision of free seminars to all users of the popular application starting in the new year. Bon Voyage System.

At the same time, we are pleased to announce the honorable selection of HELMEPA to include in the 2016 educational period the our seminar on tropical cyclonesDetails of this collaboration will be announced in the coming days.

We would like to warmly thank the Greek sailors for the trust they have shown us over the last 4 years, Greek Shipping Companies for the stable cooperation and the naval training center EIM for your unwavering support.

We wish everyone around the world that 2016 will be a year of health, creativity and love.

New Year's weather

New Year's weather with questions and answers

wind

  • When does the weather change?

The weather will begin to change gradually from the evening of Tuesday 29/12, when the strengthening of the northerly winds in the Aegean will signal the arrival of very cold air masses from the Baltic region and Russia. Thus, from Wednesday 30/12 we forget the 16 and 18 degrees maximum and go to the normal levels for the season, that is, 6-13 degrees maximum temperatures from north to south.

 

  • Will it snow in the lowlands?

Snowfall will be seen in the lowlands, mainly in Magnesia, Evia and Central Macedonia on Thursday and Friday. However, snowfall will generally be light. It will be denser in the Peloponnese from 500 meters and above.

 

  • Will I need chains for national roads?

In Tempi, snowfall may cause a few problems on Thursday and Friday, while those traveling on the Corinth-Tripoli road will also see snowfall, but without major tensions. In Epirus, the weather will generally remain good, but on New Year's Day, mainly from noon onwards, heavy snowfall will be noted.

 

  • Will it snow in Athens?

According to the forecast data up to noon on Monday 28/12, snowfall will also occur in Attica. However, the phenomena will generally be light. The snowfall will affect the mountainous and northern suburbs without, however, their intensity creating any particular problem. More severe snowfalls, not only in the mountainous areas of Attica but in most mountainous areas of the mainland, are expected on the second day of the year, as the shift of winds to southeasterly will cause a rise in temperature but at the same time an enrichment of the atmosphere in humidity. This means more abundant snowfalls but at higher altitudes.

  • Will there be enough snow at the ski resorts?

The news is good for the ski resorts as the ideal conditions for heavy snowfall appear to be in place from Saturday onwards. That is, southerly winds with low temperatures, which means high humidity levels and heavy snowfall at higher altitudes.

 

I wish everyone in the world that the new year will be a year of health, creativity and love.
