November Weather Outlook: Cold Winds, Mild Temperatures, and Incoming Storms

The latter half of November is set for a major shift in weather as the “anticyclone blocker” breaks, opening the door for waves of colder, unsettled conditions across the country. Here’s what you can expect over the next few days:

• This Week: Northerly winds and chilly early mornings are the main highlights, according to meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis. Light showers are likely but limited to eastern areas, keeping most regions relatively dry and cool.
• November Mid-Month Shift: As the anticyclone weakens later in November, more frequent storms and heavier rains are expected to move through the country, marking a transition toward wetter and more turbulent weather.
• Daily Updates: According to EMF’s director, Thodoris Kolydas, expect generally dry weather through early November, with the potential for some rain showers in the east and south as we approach mid-month.
• Near-Zero Temperatures in Northern Regions: Morning lows dipped near 0°C in some areas, with Fort Nefrokopi recording 0.3°C, followed closely by Dikaia and Orestiada at just under 1°C.
• Today’s Forecast:
• Clouds and Showers: Crete and parts of the mainland will see scattered showers, especially in central and eastern areas, while Western Greece remains clearer.
• Temperatures: Range from a cool 2°C in Western Macedonia to a mild 24°C in southern regions.
• Winds: Northerly winds in the Aegean, reaching up to 8 Beaufort, and moderate easterly winds in the Ionian.
• Midweek and Beyond: Expect cloud cover to increase in Macedonia, Thessaly, Evia, and Crete, with light rain possible in these areas. Northern winds will continue in the Aegean, maintaining high wind speeds up to 7 Beaufort, especially along the coasts.
