Day by day, spring is making its presence more noticeable, with temperatures rising and instability limited to mountainous regions.

According to Giorgos Tsatraphyllias, meteorologist for protothema.gr, in terms of weather developments, besides the temperature increase, muddy rain is also on the way. Additionally, toward the end of the week, a warm spell will push temperatures to unusually high levels for the season. From Friday, the transport of Saharan dust will also be favored.

In more detail:

For today, Wednesday 6/5/2026, generally fair weather is expected, with the exception of midday instability in central and northern mountainous areas, mainly in eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

Maximum temperatures will reach 26–27°C in central and northern mainland regions and around 23°C in the Dodecanese. In the evening, temperatures will not drop below 15–16°C in low-lying coastal areas.
