In contrast to yesterday’s unstable weather in Thessaloniki, where the student parade took place under torrential rain, today’s events across most parts of the country for October 28th are expected to be held under good weather conditions, according to meteorologists.

As Klearchos Marousakis reports, a few weather phenomena may occur over the eastern and southeastern Aegean until early afternoon, though nothing significant. Temperatures will be high, especially in southeastern and southern Greece, with the thermometer showing 25–27°C.

In a post, meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias notes that the weather will be an ally for both student and military parades, providing ideal conditions for people to go outdoors between 12:00 and 15:00. Specifically, temperatures will be around 18°C in Thessaloniki, 22°C in Athens, and 20°C in Patras, while in Heraklion, Larissa, and Volos the thermometer will reach up to 23–24°C. The only cooler exception will be Ioannina, where the maximum temperature is forecast at 16°C. The weather will generally be clear, with a few local clouds mainly in western and northern areas, but without threatening the festivities.

According to ERT meteorologist Anastasia Tyraski, the weather is improving significantly across the country today. Only the eastern Aegean islands and the Dodecanese are expected to see local showers, mainly in the morning hours. In the rest of the country, the weather will be clear and sunny, with temperatures slightly above seasonal averages. Some increased cloudiness may appear over western mainland areas. Winds will shift to westerly-northwesterly, up to 6 Beaufort.
