With very good temperatures, around 2-5 degrees Celsius above normal levels, the days will pass the Holy Week and with winds up to moderate in most areas around the country, according to Thodoris Kolydas.

“Very reliable and precipitation data through Holy Thursday. Let’s wait for the next runs , because the weather is always changeable this time of year,” the meteorologist said in a post.

As the meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias says, from Wednesday onwards the thermometers will exceed 25-26 degrees in several areas and even in combination with the wind field (downwinds) it is not excluded to approach 30 degrees Celsius!
