Weather Forecast: Showers Expected in Macedonia, Thrace, and Epirus – Thermometer to Reach 31°C

With scattered clouds, considerable heat, and thick layers of African dust, the weather forecast for tomorrow (May 8, 2025) indicates a similar pattern. According to the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY), showers are expected in the afternoon and evening hours over the mountainous regions of Macedonia, Thrace, and possibly Epirus. In other areas, isolated cloud formations are predicted, with denser clouds appearing in the mornings over Crete and the Dodecanese islands. Meteorological conditions favor the transport of African dust, particularly affecting the Cyclades, Crete, and the Dodecanese. Temperatures will remain largely unchanged, reaching high levels for this time of year. They will climb to 26–27°C in western, northern, and eastern island areas, locally reaching 28°C in the west, while in other regions, temperatures will range from 28–30°C, peaking at 31°C in northern Crete. Winds will blow from the west-northwest at 3–4 Beaufort in western areas and from southern directions at 3–5 Beaufort in eastern areas. Attica will experience generally clear skies with scattered clouds at intervals, winds from the west at 3–5 Beaufort, and temperatures ranging from 16°C to 29°C. Thessaloniki will see light clouds increasing during midday and afternoon, with local showers possible in nearby mountains, winds shifting at 3 Beaufort, and temperatures between 15°C and 26°C.
