Rain will initially affect Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Evia and parts of eastern Central Greece, before spreading to the northern Ionian Sea, Epirus and western Central Greece, where thunderstorms are also possible.

Meanwhile, northerly winds in the Aegean will locally reach Force 6 on the Beaufort scale during the morning, while temperatures will fall noticeably, particularly in northern Greece, where maximum values will be limited to 15-17°C.

Where will it rain today and when are thunderstorms expected?

According to the latest forecast data, the day will begin with intermittently increased cloud cover across eastern and northern mainland Greece, where localised rainfall is expected. The rain will mainly affect Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Evia and parts of central and eastern Central Greece.

Isolated thunderstorms are possible in northeastern Greece during the morning, while conditions are expected to improve gradually throughout the day, with the rain becoming less widespread and some brighter intervals developing.

Elsewhere, temporary cloud cover will prevail, becoming thicker in places around midday and during the afternoon, particularly over mainland areas, with a chance of occasional light rain.

The most significant change is expected towards the evening, when an atmospheric disturbance approaching from the west will bring increasing cloud cover and rainfall to the northern Ionian Sea, Epirus and western Central Greece.

The rain may be accompanied by isolated thunderstorms, particularly around Corfu and the northwestern maritime areas. Rain is also expected in parts of Aetolia-Acarnania.

Visibility will also be locally reduced during the morning in western Greece.
