Expect a cloudy and unsettled day across Greece on Tuesday, February 25, with periods of rain affecting various regions. Showers will begin early in the Ionian, mainland Greece, Crete, and the Cyclades, gradually spreading to the rest of the country. Isolated thunderstorms are likely in the southern Ionian, western and southern Peloponnese, Crete, and the Cyclades during the morning, extending to the northeastern Aegean and the Dodecanese by the afternoon.

Light snowfall will be observed in mountainous areas of the mainland, but as the day progresses, weather conditions will improve. By the afternoon, rain will ease in northern Greece, and by the evening, most areas will see clearer skies.

Winds will blow from the west-northwest at 3 to 5 Beaufort in the west, while in the east, they will start as southerly but gradually shift to west-northwest, reaching 6 Beaufort in Crete.

Temperatures will rise slightly, with highs reaching 14-16°C in western Greece and the southern Aegean, 10-12°C in the north, and 13-15°C elsewhere. However, frost is expected in northern mainland areas during the early morning and late evening.
