Thousands of Athenians sought refuge from the summer heat by heading to the beaches of Attica on Saturday, enjoying ideal conditions for swimming and relaxation. The weather cooperated, with temperatures in most coastal areas hovering around 32 to 33 degrees Celsius. This provided a welcome respite from the stifling heat experienced in previous days.

The pleasant atmosphere was evident along the Saronic Gulf coast. While inland areas of the Attica basin and western Attica recorded higher temperatures, with Aspropyrgos reaching 35 degrees Celsius and Patissia and Kallithea hitting 34.6 and 34.7 degrees respectively, the seaside offered cooler relief. Coastal spots like Paleo Faliro and Alimos registered 34.4 and 34 degrees, while Vlychada reached 34.1 degrees and Sounio stayed below 33.3 degrees Celsius.

Similar comfortable temperatures were noted in Vari (32.9°C), Nea Makri (32.8°C), and Anavyssos (32.7°C). Beachgoers enjoyed the sea under a bright sun that was not excessively harsh. The forecast for Sunday, July 5, 2026, promises even more attractive conditions, with clear skies and full sunshine expected across Attica. Temperatures are predicted to range from 22 to 33 degrees Celsius, with north winds blowing at 3 to 5 Beaufort, reaching up to 6 Beaufort on the eastern coast.
