Μake us preferred on Google Greece is set for several more days of unusually warm weather for mid-November, accompanied by strengthening southerly winds and periods of cloud cover, before a noticeable drop in temperatures arrives on Sunday, November 15.
Thursday, November 12, will bring partly cloudy skies across much of the country, with increased cloud cover at times in Epirus, western Central Greece, the Peloponnese and the eastern Aegean. Light, localized rain is expected in these areas.
Elsewhere, sunny intervals will alternate with clouds. Morning and evening fog could also reduce visibility in some locations.
Temperatures will edge slightly higher, reaching 20-22 degrees Celsius (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) in northern Greece and 23-25 degrees (73-77 degrees Fahrenheit) elsewhere.
Southerly winds will strengthen, reaching 6-7 on the Beaufort scale in some areas.
Forecast for Athens and Thessaloniki
In Athens and the wider Attica region, skies will be lightly cloudy, with cloud cover increasing overnight. Temperatures will range from 15 to 24 degrees Celsius (59-75 degrees Fahrenheit), while southwesterly winds will gradually strengthen to 5-6 on the Beaufort scale.
Thessaloniki will see periods of increased cloud cover, with fog expected mainly in the morning and evening. Temperatures will range from 13 to 22 degrees Celsius (55-72 degrees Fahrenheit). Light winds from variable directions will shift to the south in the afternoon, reaching 4-5 on the Beaufort scale.
Temperatures to remain high through Saturday
The relatively warm conditions are expected to persist through Saturday, November 14, although temperatures will vary considerably across the country, according to meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas.
On Thursday and Friday, daytime highs in most areas will range from 18 to 24 degrees Celsius (64-75 degrees Fahrenheit), with the highest temperatures expected in central and southern Greece. Overnight lows will generally range from 9 to 19 degrees (48-66 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the region, with colder conditions in inland parts of northern Greece.
Saturday will bring little change to the overall pattern. Highs are forecast to reach 17-25 degrees Celsius (63-77 degrees Fahrenheit), while overnight temperatures in most areas will range from 7 to 19 degrees (45-66 degrees Fahrenheit).
Cold snap to hit northern Greece on Sunday
The most significant change is expected on Sunday, November 15, when temperatures will fall noticeably, particularly in the north. Some areas could see temperatures drop as low as minus 1 degree Celsius (30 degrees Fahrenheit).
Daytime highs in northern Greece are forecast to fall to 9-13 degrees Celsius (48-55 degrees Fahrenheit), while central parts of the country will see temperatures ranging from 13 to 19 degrees (55-66 degrees Fahrenheit).
Western and southern Greece will remain milder, with highs of 16-22 degrees Celsius (61-72 degrees Fahrenheit).
The drop will also affect overnight temperatures. Lows in northern Greece are expected to fall to 5-10 degrees Celsius (41-50 degrees Fahrenheit), with locally lower readings.
After several days of temperatures above what is typical for the season, Sunday is therefore expected to bring distinctly colder, more winter-like conditions, especially across northern Greece.
