Cloudy weather will be followed by showers in western Greece, and sporadic thunderstorms in the northwest in the evening. Intense weather events will spread to the rest of the continent in the evening and intensify during the night from Monday to Tuesday.

The wind in the west will blow southwest 3-5 Beaufort, gradually increasing to 5-6, and in the Ionian Sea 7-8 Beaufort. In the east, the wind will initially blow north at a speed of 3-4 beauforts, and in the afternoon it will turn south/southwest at a speed of 4-6 beauforts. The temperature will not change significantly.

Snow is also expected on Tuesday (10/01) below 1000 meters in northern Greece, for example in Florina and also in Larissa.
