The Ionian Sea, along with the western and northern mainland, the northeastern Aegean, and eventually the Dodecanese, will see increased cloud cover, leading to local showers and sporadic storms. In contrast, the remaining regions of Greece will experience intervals of increased cloudiness, accompanied by occasional, light rain.

Snowfall is anticipated on the elevated terrain of Epirus and Macedonia, starting from altitudes above 1,600 meters. Morning hours will likely bring regions of reduced visibility on the mainland, with some areas potentially experiencing fog formation.

Winds are expected from the southwest in western regions, ranging from 4 to 5 on the Beaufort scale. In the east, there will be southerly winds at 4 to 6 Beaufort, with local gusts reaching 7 Beaufort in the northern Aegean.

Temperature variations are minor, with northern areas ranging between 14 to 16 degrees Celsius. In other parts, temperatures will hover between 16 to 19 degrees, with Crete and the Dodecanese seeing highs of around 21 degrees Celsius.

In Athens, weather conditions include partially cloudy skies that will be temporarily more overcast. Winds in the area will remain southwesterly, with speeds of 3 to 5 Beaufort, occasionally reaching 6 Beaufort in the eastern and southern suburbs during the morning. Temperatures are forecasted between 9 and 19 degrees Celsius.

Thessaloniki will experience intermittent periods of increased clouds and local rains. Winds there will be variable at 3 to 4 Beaufort, shifting briefly to northwesterly in the morning. The temperature will range from 8 to 15 degrees Celsius.
