If you’re currently pushing through the Tuesday grind, there is a very literal light at the end of the tunnel: tomorrow is Greek Independence Day, and a mid-week holiday is the perfect antidote to those Monday-after-effects. However, while you might be mentally preparing for tomorrow's parades and festivities, the weather is still very much in its unstable era.
Today follows a familiar script. We’re starting with locally increased clouds and a few coastal showers, but the real activity is saved for the midday slot and onwards. If you’re inland, in the mountains, or up north, expect local showers and isolated thunderstorms to crash your afternoon plans. We’re also keeping an eye out for hail during those storms, while the highest peaks of Troodos, currently sitting on a respectable 26 cm of snow, are expecting another round of sleet and snow. Temperatures are holding steady at a brisk 19°C for the lowlands and a chilly 7°C for the peaks.
Tonight, the sky stays mostly cloudy, with isolated showers and thunderstorms likely migrating toward the coasts. If you’re inland or out east, keep an eye out for patchy mist or fog during the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Wednesday (the holiday): It’s looking like a mostly cloudy affair for the celebrations. Expect local showers and isolated thunderstorms throughout the day, with more hail and mountain snow on the menu. If you’re heading to a parade, an umbrella is non-negotiable.
Thursday: The morning stays cloudy with a chance for more rain, but there is a light at the end of the week. Conditions are expected to improve noticeably from early afternoon. While we stay slightly below seasonal averages through Thursday, Friday marks the beginning of a warmer, more stable trend.
Friday: We finally see a slight increase in temperature and a shift toward periods of clouds rather than full-blown storms. It’s the first sign that the low-pressure system is finally packing its bags.
