Greece weather forecast: Rain, thunderstorms, and African dust

Greece is experiencing a significant shift in weather patterns. Following a period of high temperatures, a new weather system moving from Italy is expected to bring instability, rain, and thunderstorms to much of the country starting Saturday, September 12, 2026.

Forecasts indicate that while temperatures may see a slight initial rise, heavy rain and sporadic thunderstorms will primarily affect Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, and parts of Central Greece, with potential expansion into Thrace by the evening. Some areas may also experience hail and increased electrical activity.

Additionally, atmospheric conditions are facilitating the transport of African dust, which is expected to increase concentrations across several regions. This may lead to limited visibility, particularly during the night and early morning hours in Western Greece. While much of the mainland faces instability, some southern regions and islands may maintain clearer skies with high temperatures.
