Blame the persistent low-pressure system if your weekend plans get blown off course. It’s particularly noisy along the southern coast today, where gusts are hitting a very spirited 6 Beaufort. Inland, things are a bit more composed at 20°C, though the sea is in a rough mood. It’s the kind of day where a hoodie isn’t just an accessory. It’s a survival tool for your hair.
Up on the peaks, winter hasn't checked the calendar yet. Chionistra is still boasting 27 cm of snow, and with temperatures at a crisp 9°C, the mountains are firmly holding onto their cold-weather credentials.
Tonight, the wind keeps up its pace, and the clouds might drop a few isolated showers over the western and mountainous regions. But the real headline for the next 48 hours is the double-whammy of a hazy sky and a missing hour.
Saturday: The sky will start to lose its blue as suspended dust makes a return. Expect intervals of clouds and perhaps a stray raindrop, though most of the day will just be breezy and overcast with that familiar yellowish tint.
Sunday (the time jump): At 3:00 AM, we spring forward to 4:00 AM for Daylight Saving Time. You’ll lose an hour of sleep, but the trade-off is more light for those evening strolls. Just keep the umbrella handy. The dust will be lingering and the afternoon is bringing local rain and a potential isolated thunderstorm.
Monday: The unstable theme sticks around with a few more isolated showers to kick off the new week.
Temperatures are staying remarkably loyal to the seasonal averages, hovering around that 20°C mark through Sunday.
The bottom line
Set your clocks before you go to bed on Saturday night to avoid being the person who misses the Sunday lunch reservation. Between the incoming dust and the stolen hour of sleep, it’s a weekend for extra coffee and flexible schedules.
