Thundery showers forecast over the next four days

The weather forecast on NEA's website states that thundery showers can be expected over the next four days as well.

Showers are short bursts of precipitation that typically last an hour or two (as opposed to rain which can persist for hours to days), so you can look forward to these small moments of respite amid the hot days coming up ahead.
