  • Greece is expecting generally clear weather with a slight temperature increase.
  • Localized showers and thunderstorms are possible in mountainous and northern areas during the afternoon.
  • Temperatures will range from 29 to 31 degrees Celsius, reaching up to 33 degrees in Thessaly.

Greece is set for a generally clear weather pattern, though a slight rise in temperature is anticipated. The afternoon hours may bring temporary cloudiness, particularly over the northern continental regions and the mountains of the rest of the mainland. These areas could experience isolated showers and, in the northern mountains, potentially isolated thunderstorms.

Visibility is expected to be locally limited during the early morning hours. Winds will generally blow from the north at 2 to 4 Beaufort, increasing to 5 Beaufort in parts of the Aegean Sea. Temperatures will see a minor increase, reaching 29 to 31 degrees Celsius across most of the country, with localized highs of 32 to 33 degrees Celsius in Thessaly.

Specific forecasts for different regions indicate varying conditions. In Thessaloniki, the weather will be mostly clear with increased cloudiness in the afternoon, potentially bringing local showers to nearby mountains. Winds will be light and variable. For Western Macedonia, temperatures will be 2 to 3 degrees Celsius lower than the general forecast. In Eastern continental areas, temperatures could reach 33 to 34 degrees Celsius. The Cyclades islands will experience northwesterly winds, while Crete will see winds from the north. Temperatures in the islands will range from 19 to 28 degrees Celsius.
