The heatwave currently affecting Western Europe is not expected to reach Greece, according to protothema.gr meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias, although unsettled weather is gradually returning and the week will bring small fluctuations in temperature and wind strength.

On Monday, June 22, 2026, skies are expected to be mostly clear across much of the country. Temporary showers may develop during the midday and afternoon hours, mainly in mountainous parts of Macedonia, Epirus and Central Greece.

Temperatures will reach 36C to 37C in western and northern mainland areas, while the Ionian Islands, Crete and the Dodecanese will see highs of 33C to 34C.

Winds will remain light in the Ionian Sea, while in the Aegean, northerly winds will locally reach 7 to 8 Beaufort.

In Attica, sunshine is forecast, with northerly winds of up to 7 Beaufort. Temperatures will range from 22C to 33C.

In Thessaloniki, there is a slight chance of brief drizzle from midday onwards. Conditions in the Thermaic Gulf will be almost calm, while temperatures are expected to reach 33C.

Weather outlook for the coming days

From Tuesday to Friday, the weather will be shaped by three main factors: marked instability, with rain and thunderstorms in mainland Greece; small temperature fluctuations; and northerly winds of up to 6 Beaufort in the Aegean.

Over the weekend, temperatures are expected to fall slightly, northerly winds will strengthen again, and most areas will see sunny weather.
