Get ready for a Wednesday with attitude! The skies are feeling dramatic, the breeze has a bite, and the temperatures? Let’s just say spring’s taking a short break.
Clouds will be doing a slow dance over central and southern Greece, with the occasional shower cameo in parts of the mainland, the South Ionian, the Cyclades, and Crete. Early risers in mountainous areas may even catch a glimpse of some morning snow flurries.
Skies will slowly clear up through the day, leaving most areas with patchy clouds and that “do-I-need-an-umbrella-or-not?” dilemma.

Bundle up! We’re talking March-like chill for this time of year. Layers are your friend. Don’t be fooled by the calendar – it’s still jacket weather.
