Storms are anticipated in many parts of the mainland and potentially the northwestern Aegean, while heat persists in western regions. The National Observatory of Athens' weather service (meteo) predicts local rain or thunderstorms in Central Macedonia and Thessaly on Tuesday morning, with sunshine elsewhere. However, mountainous areas of Epirus and Macedonia could experience intense phenomena, including hailstorms.
