6 days with rain! (photos)

I surely understand how weather affects human psychology...
After having nothing to do, due to heavy rainfalls, I was so bored and was feeling really depressed! From the beginning of September and till 11/9 there was no day without rain! The month hasn't come to the end and the precipitation has already reached 108,6mm!

Fortunately, a High Pressure is moving towards Scandinavia, so sunny weather will hopefully be this week's main characteristic. And something I have noticed is that when the weather is good in Northern Europe, then bad weather is expected in Southern areas and the opposite again.
And that's happening also this time. As we Norwegians are having sunny days now, in Greece unstable atmosphere will give severe thunderstorms next days. It's a cold front which have caused big Cumulonimbus clouds in Spain, Italy and in other Mediterranean countries. Well, it was about time, since Northern Greece has experienced a long period with drought and high temperatures. The last time it rained in Thessaloniki was 4 July!

There weren't many days with over 40oC this summer in Greece, as last year (apart from the mainland, where temperature is always higher), but the temperature has been over 34oC constantly for many weeks something exhausting for urban citizens!
But they will surely get their goodies in the coming period!
