Greece’s national weather observatory (EMY) says that Thursday, October 31 will bring generally cooler temperatures in the country, along with rain in several areas and strong winds across the Aegean.
Most of the country will have sunny conditions with some clouds. That being said there is a chance of local showers in Thessaly, Sporades, Evia, southern Peloponnese, and the mountainous and northern parts of Crete.
Visibility will be limited in central and northern mainland Greece in the evening and early morning hours.
Temperatures will range from 8 to 22°C in northern Greece (4 to 17°C in western Macedonia), 10 to 21°C in central and southern Greece, 11 to 25°C in western Greece (9 to 21°C in Epirus), 14 to 20°C in the Cyclades and Crete, 13 to 22°C in the eastern Aegean islands, and 14 to 25°C in the Dodecanese.
Winds in the Aegean will blow from the north at moderate to strong speeds, 5-6 Beaufort. However, there will be nearly gale-force winds in the central Aegean and Libyan Sea at 7 Beaufort, while winds in the Ionian will generally be light from the east and locally moderate in the central Ionian at 4 Beaufort.
