Hello ! Apart from being rally fan, I am also meteo enthusiast and local (Latvian) storm chaser. I checked the situation and these are my my points:
1. All the models predict huge amount of rain for next 2,5 - 3 days. Even up to 2000 mm of total rain accumulated. Even 500 mm of rain for 3 days is extreme.
2. The majority of models show the big rain falling just north of the rally region, but but still even up to 500 mm in rally region.
3. Rain will stop Thursday (07.09.2023) evening but damage will be done.
4. If the models verify (and they will because at least 5 different weather models show the same), there will be disaster and state of emergency north of the stages. Access roads will be destroyed, even rally stages can be damaged. A lot of rock falls can happen and block the roads. And Emergency vehicle access can be a problem.
5. I thing WRC rally of Greece 2023 will be canceled.

Radar is working very bad here, yesterday it didn't show nothing in many places and we had up to 20 cm of puddles according to radar, I have had rain for a long time now in Kamena Vuorla.. well, asflat is getting dry. But looking out of the window works well, there is mostly light rain in Lamia and just on Sunday stages, there are very, very heavy rainclouds. And you are right, we just got warning that traffic is prohibited in NE county from Lamia. This is called Omega block, we have flooding in Spain and Greece, hot air in between.

A ještě citace jednoho z nejlepších meteo crew ve WRC: Some models are predicting amounts (ca 30-50 km norths from Sunday stages) I have never seen before, never, nowhere. That is basically 2.2 meters of water in ca 2 days. Models tend to misjudge extreme events due to their rare occurrences, but it shows anyway that this is note joke, that this is bad.

Jestli soutěž odjedou,bude to malý zázrak,je tam hrůza
