Around the capital in the region of Attica, snowfall will continue in the mountains and foothills of Parnitha and Pendeli and associated suburbs (from 200 meters altitude and upwards).
Tomorrow (Tuesday) the snow will be particularly heavy at times mainly in northern and eastern Attica. Local snowstorms will occur in the northern suburbs and potentially even in the city center. The bad weather will begin to ease on Wednesday afternoon.
