According to recent analysis from the Meteo service of the National Observatory of Athens, snow coverage in Greece during the current winter is significantly below the average levels. As of February 23, 2026, only 2% of the country was covered in snow, which is considerably lower than the 14% average daily snow coverage recorded between 2004 and 2026. This ongoing trend highlights a worrying pattern in Greece's winter weather, where snow coverage has been increasingly limited in recent years.

The analysis indicates that snow presence in Greece remained notably scarce until the end of December 2025. This limited snowfall has been a recurring theme over the past decade, reflecting broader climate patterns affecting the region. However, the report notes a gradual increase in snow coverage following late December, which may indicate some variability in weather conditions, although it still fails to meet historical averages.

The implications of low snow coverage extend beyond immediate weather observations, impacting water resources, agriculture, and ecosystems in Greece. As the winter progresses with minimal snow, concerns could arise regarding water supply during drier months if precipitation patterns do not shift. This situation warrants ongoing monitoring as part of climate change discussions, especially in a country that has experienced significant weather anomalies in recent years.
