Weather: Mild first ten days of March with temperatures above normal levels

No significant phenomena in Athens, Thessaloniki and the Cyclades – Northerly flow keeps the atmosphere clear, says Kolydas

Newsroom March 1 07:23

The first ten days of March are unfolding with mild and relatively stable weather, according to a post by meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas. Temperatures are running slightly above seasonal averages, with no indications of significant disturbances or organized severe weather.

In Athens, maximum temperatures are expected to reach 17–19°C by midweek and then stabilize around 14–15°C. Minimum temperatures remain in single digits, without any notable cold spells.

ΚΑΛΟ ΜΗΝΑ !!!
Μια σύντομη ματιά στον καιρό δείχνει ότι το πρώτο δεκαήμερο του Μαρτίου κυλά με ήπιο και σχετικά σταθερό καιρό.

Sunny intervals will prevail, and no significant weather phenomena are expected, with conditions remaining stable.

In Thessaloniki, the temperature profile is similar, with maximum values also slightly above climatic averages.

The only brief “pause” is expected on Thursday, when forecast models indicate light precipitation, though without signs of an organized or noteworthy system. Otherwise, conditions remain mild.

In the Cyclades, with Andros as a representative example, sunshine will dominate on most days, with only occasional cloud cover that does not appear to be accompanied by significant phenomena.

Temperatures will range around 14–16°C during the day and 9–11°C at night—values normal or slightly higher for the season. Winds are not expected to strengthen significantly, and the Aegean shows no signs of organized severe weather.

Northerly flow and clear atmosphere

A common feature of the period is the persistence of a northerly flow, which favors a clear atmosphere and good visibility, limiting the potential for widespread rainfall.

Conclusion
So far, no major disturbance is evident that would substantially change the overall picture.

March, according to Thodoris Kolydas, is starting calmly and does not currently seem inclined to live up to its reputation as a harsh month.
