Regarding the possibility of rain, the chances are few and limited in NE Greece.

Christmas weather

Finally, regarding Mr Marousakis’ initial estimates for the Christmas weather, it is expected to be “unsettled, rainy at times” without being particularly cold.

“We could describe the Christmas weather as autumnal, very autumnal,” the Open meteorologist said.
