Μake us preferred on Google Greece is set for a shift toward more autumn-like weather in the coming days, with temperatures expected to fall from Tuesday, although some areas will remain warmer than usual for the season.
The change will be most noticeable in Western Greece, while average high temperatures in the north are expected to fall to 26-27 degrees Celsius. Central Greece and Thessaly will see temperatures around 28 C.
The decline will be slower in Attica, while temperatures in the Aegean and Crete are expected to drop more gradually.
Stronger winds in the Aegean
Northerly winds will strengthen in the Aegean, reaching 6 to 7 Beaufort, with gusts potentially reaching 8 Beaufort locally south of Crete.
According to a forecast update by meteorologist Theodoros Kolydas, the median high temperature in Northern Greece will fall from 29.6 C to 26.6 C, while Western Greece will see a sharper decline from 34.2 C to 27.2 C.
Western Greece is also expected to have the strongest rainfall signal, with a 47% probability of at least 5 millimeters of rain on September 13, Kolydas said.
In Central Greece and Thessaly, temperatures are expected to move toward 28 C, with moderate chances of rain. Eastern Central Greece and Attica will see a slower decline, while temperatures will also fall significantly in the Peloponnese.
The Aegean and Crete will experience a more moderate temperature decline, with very limited indications of rainfall.
Showers and thunderstorms from Wednesday
From Wednesday, atmospheric instability is expected to increase over mountainous areas of mainland Greece.
Showers and thunderstorms are possible mainly in the Pindus mountain range, toward Mount Olympus and in the interior of the Peloponnese.
A low-pressure system currently located near Italy could move toward Greece, potentially bringing rain initially mainly to Western and Northern Greece.
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts 15-day outlook also indicates the strongest rainfall signal in Western Greece.
More autumn-like conditions by week’s end
Winds are expected to weaken toward the end of the week, while minimum temperatures will decline further, bringing increasingly autumn-like conditions.
However, Kolydas said there is currently no indication of a prolonged nationwide rain event.
The Aegean could continue to experience locally strong winds, with a particularly strong signal for winds of at least 6 Beaufort in Andros on September 8.
