What did the Medicane that hit Greece do afterwards? VIIRS True-color imagery, above, taken from the NASA WorldView site, show an intact feature moving along the northern coast of Africa on 20-21 September towards the Nile Delta. The amount of cloudiness is in general declining as it moves into a drier environment. Total Precipitable Water (TPW) from the MIMIC website shows the general drying surrounding the storm.
