Weather: spring-like Holy Week with temperatures up to 25°C, volatility towards Easter

High temperatures until Maundy Thursday, drop of mercury and rains from Good Friday - What predict Marousakis and Arnaoutoglou

Newsroom April 7 08:48

With spring weather and temperatures that will locally exceed 25 degrees Celsius, the first days of Holy Week will pass, according to meteorologists Klearchos Marousakis and Sakis Arnaoutoglou. However, as we approach Easter, increased instability is expected, mainly in the central and northern regions, with a drop in temperature and rainfall that does not seem to significantly affect the Resurrection.

Spring temperatures until Good Wednesday

Holy Week begins with good weather conditions in most parts of the country, with the mercury reaching as high as 25 degrees Celsius locally.

According to Klearchos Marousakis, the weather will remain mild and spring-like, with temperatures above normal for the season, until the middle of the week.

As Sakis Arnaoutoglou said, the Great Tuesday will pass without significant phenomena, while on Great Wednesday the weather starts with good conditions, but from noon the chances of local showers increase, mainly in Thessaly, in the north of Attica and in the Peloponnese.

Lower temperatures and more clouds on Thursday

.
The picture changes from Maundy Thursday, as a drop in temperature and increased clouds are expected.

Rainfall is forecast mainly in the eastern part of the country, affecting areas such as Thessaly, Chalkidiki, Attica, and parts of Crete.

Thessia, Chalkidiki, Crete and parts of Greece and Crete, including Greece and Crete.

Stability on Good Friday – Resurrection without particular problems

Near Good Friday, as usual, instability is expected mainly in the central and northern parts of the country, with temperatures returning to levels closer to normal for the season.

The weather is expected to be relatively good during the day; however, further deterioration is forecast from the west in the evening.

According to Klearchos Marousakis, the weather conditions do not seem to pose any problems for the Resurrection, although the weather will be colder in most areas.

More autumnal scenery on Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday

Good Saturday sees a more pronounced change in the weather, with conditions in many areas more reminiscent of autumn than spring.

Rains are expected both on Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, in places with greater intensity, mainly in western, central and northern Greece.

On the contrary, better weather conditions are expected in the Cyclades, the Dodecanese and Crete, where the phenomena will be more limited.
