Rain, snow and storms are expected today, possibly heavy in places, in the west and from midday in the Cyclades, western Crete and the eastern Aegean.

According to EMY director Thodoros Kolydas, the weather will be “cloudy with local rain in most areas of the country. Sporadic thunderstorms will occur mainly marine – coastal parts. The phenomena in the west and from noon in the Cyclades, Crete and the eastern Aegean Sea are likely to be strong in places. Some snow will fall in the highlands of Epirus and western Central Greece. Winds will blow south-southwest 4 to 5 Beaufort and in the seas locally 6 Beaufort.The temperature will rise slightly in the east. It will reach 12 to 14 degrees Celsius in the north and 15 to 17 degrees Celsius in the rest of the regions and 18 degrees Celsius locally in the southern islands“.

For his part, Open’s meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis says that “from Sunday onwards, we will be talking about a new deterioration of the weather from the west that will be completed on Clean Monday, again with rain, a drop in temperature and some storms in marine and coastal areas. On Clean Monday things will be a bit strange in the sense that this instability will prevail in many areas, we will have openings and closures in the weather, which means that rains are very likely to develop in many areas of our country.”
