Summer weather has entered September, as the next ten days will roll by with high temperatures. However, starting Wednesday and for a 48-hour period there will be instability with showers and thunderstorms, as well as strengthening northerly winds.

According to ERT meteorologist Panagiotis Giannopoulos on Wednesday, the scene changes slightly, as local thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and midday in mountainous areas of continental Greece and parts of Macedonia. Towards dawn on Thursday, occasional phenomena may affect Central and Northern Macedonia, even near the border with Skopje. From Thursday the weather will stabilise again, with temperatures dropping slightly on the mainland to 30-31°C. Northerly winds in the Aegean remain at 6 Beaufort, bringing coolness. The weekend promises ideal conditions, with sunny and summery weather. In Athens, Tuesday and Wednesday the temperature will reach 35-36°C, locally maybe even 37°C in the warmer continental parts, to return to milder values from Thursday, close to 31-32°C.
