Greece will see its first wave of bad weather in Autumn, as the National Observatory of Athens / meteo.gr talks forecast a spell of rain.

Local rains are forecast in the northwest and in the Ionian sporadic thunderstorms. At night the effects in the northern Ionian will be more pronounced, while clear weather is forecast in the rest of the country.

The winds are forecast to blow in the south, south southeasterly direction strengthening in the northern Ionian at 6 to 7 Beaufort. To the east from the north, in the Aegean 5 to 6 Beaufort.

The temperature will drop slightly in the east and north, where it will reach 23 to 25 and the rest 26 to 28 degrees Celsius.
