On Clean Monday, the weather in Greece will be predominantly cloudy with periods of local rainfall expected across various regions, especially the mountainous inland and Crete. The National Meteorological Service has forecasted increased cloudiness in areas such as Thrace, southern parts of central and eastern Macedonia, the Sporades Islands, Euboea, eastern Central Greece, the Peloponnese, southern Ionian, Cyclades, the eastern Aegean islands, the Dodecanese, and Crete, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms, particularly in Euboea and during early morning hours in the Dodecanese. Fortunately, these conditions are anticipated to improve by the afternoon in northern areas and by evening across central parts of the country.

Winds are expected to blow from northern directions at speeds of 4 to 6 Beaufort, while localized gusts may reach 7 Beaufort in the sea areas. The temperature is projected to experience a slight decline, with northern regions reaching highs of 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, while the remaining areas will see highs between 14 to 16 degrees Celsius, and the Dodecanese potentially seeing slightly higher temperatures during the day. This weather pattern signals a shift as Greece transitions into the spring season, as Clean Monday is traditionally viewed as a day of outdoor activities and family gatherings, particularly in light of the Lent festivities.

This weather report holds significance as it affects local celebrations and gatherings that are common during this time in Greece. Many families and communities typically partake in picnics and outdoor activities on Clean Monday, heralding the start of Lent. Therefore, the forecast of rain and cooler temperatures may influence plans, prompting individuals to adjust their expectations for any traditional observances or gatherings, which could impact local businesses related to leisure and hospitality during this holiday period.
