Translated from Greek, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- Greece will experience a shift in weather patterns starting next week, moving away from a spring-like climate.
- Temperatures will remain high, but increased cloudiness and rain are expected, particularly in northern and eastern regions.
- The forecast predicts rain and thunderstorms across most of the country by the end of the week, with a slight drop in temperatures.
The Greek meteorological service, as reported by Ta Nea, forecasts a significant change in the country's weather. After a period of unseasonably warm, spring-like conditions, a more unsettled pattern is set to emerge. While temperatures will continue to be mild, reaching up to 25-26 degrees Celsius, the focus shifts to precipitation. Starting Monday, increased cloudiness is expected, particularly in the eastern parts of the mainland. By Tuesday, Northern Greece will see more unstable weather, with rain and localized thunderstorms. These conditions are predicted to spread southward throughout the week, affecting central regions including Attica by Wednesday, and reaching the Peloponnese and parts of the central and southern Aegean by Thursday and Friday. This shift signals the end of the extended pleasant weather, bringing a more typical, albeit wetter, end to the week. Despite the anticipated rain, maritime and air travel are not expected to be significantly disrupted, with winds remaining moderate.
The weather seems to be gradually changing from next week, after the spring-like scene that prevailed in previous days across the country.
