Meteorologists announced Thursday strong storms, electrical discharges, hail and wind intensifications in several regions of the country, with the phenomena expected to extend from Friday to the rest of the territory.

The director of the National Meteorological Administration specified that the temperatures remain high on Thursday, but there will be fewer degrees in the thermometer in the areas where there will be storms.
“Today we will continue to have warm weather, with values of 20 to 29 degrees Celsius, but lower values in the areas of the western half, where the phenomena of instability will also be present, with maximums of up to 22 degrees, while in the south we will have temperatures above 25 to 28 degrees Celsius,” said Mateescu.
According to the head of ANM, from Friday the weather will cool slightly, and atmospheric instability phenomena will expand in most of the country.
“In the south, southeast and east of the country we will record values of 15-20 l/m2 and this signal of instability phenomena will be of interest at least until the end of this week”, indicated the director of ANM.
