Spring continues to flirt with summer! Expect sunshine with passing clouds, a hint of Saharan dust, and the usual afternoon mountain mischief in the form of showers or isolated storms.

Across Greece, skies will be partly cloudy, at times more overcast.
During the warmer hours, showers or isolated thunderstorms may break out in the mountainous areas of Epirus, Macedonia, Thessaly, and Central Greece.
Meanwhile, a mild layer of Saharan dust will drift in, especially over western parts of the country — just enough to tint your car and give sunsets a golden glow.
