Greece Weather: Up to 33°C expected, with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible

Greece is set for a day of generally clear skies on Sunday, June 9th, with temperatures expected to climb as high as 33 degrees Celsius in some parts of the country. The forecast indicates a pleasant start to the day across most regions.

However, brief periods of cloud cover are anticipated during the morning hours in central Macedonia, Thessaly, eastern Sterea, and Evia, where isolated showers and thunderstorms may occur. As the day progresses into the afternoon, continental areas could see local rainfall and sporadic thunderstorms, particularly in mountainous zones. Visibility may be limited in the morning and evening, especially in western and northern mainland areas.

Winds will generally blow from the north. Speeds will range from 3-4 Beaufort in the western parts of the country to 4-5 Beaufort in the east. In the Aegean Sea, winds could reach up to 6 Beaufort. The temperature is not expected to change significantly, hovering between 30-32 degrees Celsius in many areas, though it may be slightly cooler in western Macedonia.

Specific regional forecasts include central Macedonia expecting increased cloudiness with local rain and isolated thunderstorms early on, followed by improvement. The Ionian Islands, Epirus, western Sterea, and western Peloponnese will see generally clear weather with possible afternoon showers in the mountains. The Cyclades and Crete will experience mostly clear skies with intermittent clouds, while the eastern Aegean Islands and Dodecanese will also be generally clear. Attica anticipates clear weather with possible afternoon showers in the mountains, and Thessaloniki will see rapid improvement after early morning rain and isolated thunderstorms.
