Update 14.11.2026 · 00:00, Athens time — What changed

Three official HNMS warnings remain in the current table for Saturday, 14 November, based on the original official bulletins and their specified validity periods.

The orange force 8–9 wind warning for the northeastern Aegean and the yellow rain warnings for Epirus and western Central Greece expired at 00:00 Athens. This identifies expiry of those bulletins, without establishing that every local hazard has ended. The following yellow wind bulletin runs from 00:01 to 17:00, alongside separate rain and thunderstorm warnings for Thrace.

Update 13.11.2026 · 16:12, Athens time — What changed

HNMS issued a separate yellow warning for local thunderstorms in Thrace through MeteoAlarm at 14:51 on 13 November. It is valid from 20:00 on Saturday 14 November until 00:00 on Sunday 15 November, Athens time. The bulletin advises particular care in exposed areas, including mountains, forests and open terrain, because outdoor activities could be disrupted.

The thunderstorm warning is separate from the previously published yellow rain bulletin for Thrace, valid from 13:00 on Saturday until 00:00 on Sunday and forecasting 10–30 millimetres over 12 hours. The six earlier bulletins are unchanged in the latest check, including the orange wind warning in the northeastern Aegean. They describe expected weather and risks, rather than confirming thunderstorms, flooding or damage.

Update 13.11.2026 · 15:18, Athens time — What changed

HNMS has upgraded its wind warning for the northeastern Aegean islands to orange. The new official bulletin, issued through MeteoAlarm at 14:23 on 13 November, forecasts locally force 8–9 winds from 15:00 on Friday 13 November until 00:00 on Saturday 14 November, Athens time. It supersedes the earlier yellow warning for the same area, highlighting risks from wind-blown objects and disruption to outdoor activities.

A separate yellow warning for the same islands covers the following period, from 00:01 until 17:00 on Saturday 14 November, for locally force 8 winds. The two bulletins have different levels and validity periods; they do not constitute a single orange warning lasting until Saturday afternoon.

For Thrace, the new yellow warning issued at 14:44 on Friday forecasts locally intensive rain, with a possible 10–30 millimetres over 12 hours. It runs from 13:00 on Saturday 14 November until 00:00 on Sunday 15 November. The bulletin identifies the potential for localised flooding and difficult driving conditions caused by reduced visibility and slippery roads.

The feed also retains the three yellow rain warnings issued on 12 November: for the Ionian islands until 17:00 on Friday, and for western Central Greece and Epirus until 00:00 on Saturday. These forecast locally 15–50 millimetres over 12 hours. All times here are Europe/Athens. The bulletins describe expected weather and risks; they do not confirm flooding or damage.

Update 11.11.2026 · 23:08, Athens time — What changed

The HNMS yellow warning for local thunderstorms in the Dodecanese expired at 23:00 on Wednesday, November 11. Its card was removed from the active weather warnings in Alert.

A fresh review of the 11 original CAP notices supplied by the Greek MeteoAlarm feed found no other active warning. This finding concerns that particular feed at the time of checking.

Expiry marks the end of the warning’s official validity window. It does not by itself confirm that weather phenomena have stopped everywhere on the islands. Earlier updates remain below as dated history.

Update 11.11.2026 · 17:06, Athens time — What changed

The HNMS yellow warning for local thunderstorms in the Dodecanese took effect at 17:00 on Wednesday November 11 and expires at 23:00 the same day. All times are Greece local time.

The official bulletin advises staying informed and taking particular care in exposed areas such as mountains, forests and open spaces, as outdoor activities may be disrupted. This is a warning of possible weather conditions, not confirmation that thunderstorms or damage have occurred.

The separate yellow rain warnings for Epirus and Western Sterea expired at 17:00 and were removed from Alert’s active cards. At the fresh check of the original CAP bulletins, the Dodecanese warning is the active Greek warning in this feed.

Update 11.11.2026 · 14:11, Athens time — What changed

The yellow thunderstorm warnings for Epirus and Western Sterea expired at 14:00 on Wednesday November 11. They were removed from Alert’s list of active warnings.

Yellow warnings for locally heavy rain remain active in the same two regions until 17:00. The HNMS bulletins indicate possible rainfall of 15–50 millimetres over 12 hours and potential local disruption to travel and outdoor activities.

The official feed also contains a separate yellow thunderstorm warning for the Dodecanese, valid from 17:00 to 23:00 on November 11. Its validity period has not yet begun at this review, so it is not included among Alert’s active warning cards. All times are Greece local time.

Update 11.11.2026 · 11:06, Athens time — What changed

At 11:00 on Wednesday 11 November, the two yellow warnings for rain and thunderstorms in the Ionian Islands expired, along with the yellow thunderstorm warning for Western Peloponnese. They were removed from Alert’s list of active warnings.

Four HNMS yellow warnings remain active: thunderstorms in Epirus and Western Sterea until 14:00, and rain in the same two regions until 17:00. All times are Greece local time on 11 November.

Care is needed when travelling and during outdoor activities in areas covered by active warnings. A warning’s expiry does not establish that rain has stopped at every location in the corresponding region.

Update 11.11.2026 · 08:07, Athens time — What changed

The orange rain warning for Epirus expired at 08:00 on Wednesday 11 November. A yellow rain warning took effect then and runs until 17:00. The separate yellow thunderstorm warning for Epirus remains in force until 14:00.

In the Ionian Islands, the overnight yellow thunderstorm warning expired at 08:00 and a new one began, running until 11:00 and mainly covering northern areas. The yellow rain warning also runs until 11:00.

Western Peloponnese has a yellow thunderstorm warning, mainly for its northern areas, until 11:00. Western Sterea has yellow rain warnings until 17:00 and thunderstorm warnings until 14:00. All times are Greece local time. HNMS advises care in exposed areas and when travelling.

Update 11.11.2026 · 05:07, Athens time — What changed

The orange heavy-rain warning for the Ionian Islands expired at 05:00 on Wednesday 11 November. The orange warning for Epirus remains active until 08:00. A warning’s expiry does not guarantee that local disruption has ended.

Yellow warnings effective from 05:00 cover local thunderstorms in Western Peloponnese, mainly its northern areas, until 11:00; rain in Western Sterea until 17:00 and thunderstorms there until 14:00; and rain in the Ionian Islands until 11:00.

Separate yellow thunderstorm warnings remain in force for the Ionian Islands until 08:00 and Epirus until 14:00. All times are Greece local time. HNMS advises care in exposed areas and on roads. The warnings describe risk and do not establish that flooding has occurred.

Update 10.11.2026 · 23:00, Athens time — What changed

Two orange warnings for locally heavy rain took effect at 23:00 on Tuesday 10 November. The warning for the Ionian Islands, mainly the northern areas, ends at 05:00 on Wednesday 11 November. The Epirus warning ends at 08:00. All times are Greece local time.

The weather service forecasts local rainfall totals of 50 to 80 mm over 12 hours and warns of possible localised flooding, reduced visibility and slippery roads.
