Today, the weather will improve with temperatures rising and sunshine expected throughout the country. Over the weekend, the winds will shift to southerlies, bringing a warmer air mass from the coasts of North Africa, raising temperatures even further.

According to the director of the Hellenic Meteorological Service (EMY), Theodoros Kolydas, “the cold will retreat from Friday, and as the winds shift to southerlies over the weekend, both minimum and maximum temperatures will rise. The weather will be mild on March 25th, but there will be local rains in the west, central, and northern regions.”
