We will have a gradual rise in temperature until the end of the week, specifically until 28/9 with the mercury reaching even 34 degrees Celsius and weather reminiscent of summer again.

According to the latest forecast data from meteo.gr / National Observatory of Athens, “during the next few days the atmospheric circulation will favor the transfer of warm air masses towards our country. From Wednesday 25/09 onwards, the air masses affecting the weather in Greece are expected to be warmer than normal for the season.

In fact, the summer setting will be reinforced by a strong strong anticyclone that is expected to develop in the coming period, resulting in the absence of rainfall, as Thodoris Kolydas says in a new post.

The blocking anticyclone will block and prevent central European systems from moving into our region, according to the director of the National Weather Service.

THE WEATHER FORECAST UP TO THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER

✅The rise in temperature from the beginning of next week will be the main feature of the weather. From early October we return to normal temperature levels.

✅In terms of precipitation, nothing encouraging is discernible. The only exception is some phenomena at the end of the month. Since the beginning of October a strong blocking anticyclone has been developing. This strong anticyclone will block and prevent the central European systems from moving towards our region and this will result in the absence of rain.
