The orange warning of the Meteorological Service for extreme weather phenomena is still in force and at the same time the criticisms to the Meteorological Service for its issuance.
Speaking on state radio on the morning of Monday, December 20, the Director of Meteorology said, among other things, that he does not accept that a wrong forecast was made. "Overrated yes, but not wrong." He explained that based on the forecasting models monitored by the Service, this had to be done. "This is how it should have been done (s.s. the orange warning should be issued) and this is how it was done."
He added that "Carmel did not come either for Israel or for Greece. What happened in Greece was a prerequisite for it to happen here as well. Not with this air stream. The northwest air system to create low pressure. All forecast models insisted on this. "But the low pressure was created in the bay of Mersina", said Mr. Nikolaidis.
In the meantime, in his intervention on Sunday night at SIGMA, Mr. Nikolaidis explained that the 3 phenomena that seemed to "beat" us did not hit at the same time.
