TLDR

  • Temperatures in Athens are forecast to rise by 7 degrees Celsius over two days, reaching 23°C by Tuesday.
  • The weather on Sunday includes potential rain and thunderstorms in eastern mainland Greece and the Aegean, with improvement expected in the evening.
  • Northern winds will prevail, with varying strengths across different regions, and temperatures will be cooler in the southeast Aegean.

Spring is making a comeback across Greece, with a noticeable surge in temperatures expected in the coming days. Athens, in particular, will see a significant jump from 16°C on Sunday to a pleasant 23°C by Tuesday, signaling a welcome return to warmer weather after a recent cold spell.

The forecast for Sunday indicates a mixed bag across the country. While eastern mainland Greece and the Aegean may experience localized rain and thunderstorms, especially in coastal areas, the rest of the country is expected to see clearer skies with some showers in mountainous regions. Snowfall is even possible at higher elevations.

Wind patterns will also shift, with northerly winds dominating, reaching up to 8 Beaufort in the Aegean and potentially 9 by evening in the southeast. Temperatures will dip slightly in the southeast Aegean but will generally range from 15-17°C elsewhere on the mainland, with western areas reaching up to 20°C.
