Greece greets the day with a splash and ends it with a smile! Rain and thunderstorms will rumble through the early morning, especially in Thrace and the Northeast Aegean, but skies will clear quickly across the country, ushering in a fresher, breezier day. Expect a drop in temperatures and gusty northern winds to shake things up.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Early storms in the northeast fade by morning.
- Crete and Northern Greece see scattered showers through the early hours, clearing by late afternoon.
- Elsewhere, mostly clear skies with some clouds up north and over Crete.
Temperatures cool off:
- Western Macedonia: 7–19°C
- Eastern Macedonia & Thrace: 11–25°C
- Ionian Islands: 15–24°C
- Epirus: 8–27°C
- Thessaly: 11–24°C
- Central Greece: 11–26°C
- Peloponnese: 13–28°C
- North Aegean Islands: 15–25°C
- Central & South Aegean Islands: 17–25°C

Wind alert:
Northwesterly winds pick up steam, blowing at 4 to 6 Beaufort, reaching 7 Beaufort in the Aegean—perfect for sailboats, not so great for hats.
Local snapshots:
- Athens: Fair skies with occasional high clouds. Gentle northwesterly breezes (2–4 Beaufort) and temps between 15 and 27°C.
- Thessaloniki: Sunny with a few passing clouds. Northwesterly winds at 3–5 Beaufort and a mild range of 12 to 25°C.
