The weather is gradually improving following the cold front that affected many regions of Greece, causing disruptions and keeping numerous students at home. Rainfall is subsiding, but temperatures remain stubbornly low, as does the frost. However, starting tomorrow, the weather will begin to “soften,” and the weekend is expected to be sunny with temperatures rising.

According to a post by the Director of the National Meteorological Service (EMY), Theodoros Kolydas, temperatures will gradually climb and return to normal or slightly above normal levels by the end of the week, followed by a drop—albeit not a significant one. He also notes that no significant rainfall is expected in the coming days, both in the short and medium term.]
