Greece is set to face a series of unstable weather conditions starting today, February 8, through to Thursday, February 12. Meteorologist Theodoros Kolyda has detailed that rain will be predominant in the western parts of the country, eastern Macedonia, Thrace, and the eastern Aegean, while other areas will experience lighter and more sporadic precipitation. Additionally, maximum temperatures have recently exceeded 23 degrees Celsius, indicating fluctuating weather patterns in the region.

The unstable weather system is expected to remain in place not only today but also into Tuesday and Wednesday, with predictions of locally severe weather events, particularly in southwestern regions of Greece. As a result, residents can expect continued rain and localized thunderstorms, prompting caution as conditions develop. Snowfall is also anticipated in higher altitudes, which will affect transport and activities in mountainous areas.

As this pattern unfolds, it highlights the importance of staying updated on weather forecasts given the unpredictable nature of such conditions during this period leading up to Tsiknopempti, a festive day in Greek culture. The varying weather could impact local celebrations, outdoor activities, and general day-to-day life, reinforcing the significance of weather reports like those from Kolyda to keep the public informed about safety and preparedness.
