Today, Thursday, March 12, 2026, Greece is split in two by the weather: clear skies dominate much of the country, while clouds and scattered rain affect other areas — particularly mountainous and southern regions. Temperatures remain relatively low overnight, with little change expected during the day.
General Forecast (Hellenic National Meteorological Service)
Most of Greece will enjoy generally clear conditions. However, brief cloud cover is expected over Crete and the western and southern mainland during the afternoon and early evening, with a chance of light, isolated showers in higher elevations.
Morning visibility may be locally reduced in western and northern areas. Winds will blow from northerly directions at 3–4 Beaufort, reaching up to 5 Beaufort locally in the Aegean Sea.
Temperatures will stay steady, peaking between 16°C and 18°C across most regions. Slightly warmer conditions — up to 19°C — are expected in western Greece, southern Crete, and the Dodecanese islands.
