If you are not a fan of the cold, then enjoy the next few days because the weather in Greece is set to change on Thursday as a cold air mass will force temperatures below seasonal norms.

Up until the arrival of the cold weather, Greece will be warm and dry, which has even put some regions of the country at a risk for fires, according to statements by Greece’s civil protection authority.

From Thursday, however, a cold air mass from Eastern Europe will hit Greece and lower temperatures to 20-23°C.
