Partly cloudy skies that will at times become denser, local rain mainly in mountainous areas, and slightly increased dust concentrations make up today’s weather pattern. According to meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas, the most significant periods for rainfall in Athens are expected on March 23–24 and especially on March 26.

In a post, meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas presents a probabilistic estimate for weather developments in Athens next week, based on the ENS meteogram.

As he notes, the most notable periods for rain in Athens appear to be March 23–24 and especially March 26, while a secondary passage of weather phenomena is expected around March 27.
