Thessaloniki — Weather today

Thessaloniki is in Central Macedonia, on the northeastern shore of the Thermaic Gulf, between the sea and the hills of the Upper Town. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because waterfront humidity, summer heat, thunderstorms, the winter Vardaris wind and differences between open squares, the dense centre, the port and higher districts can quickly affect plans.

Thessaloniki is usually classified as having a humid subtropical climate in the Koppen system (Cfa), with a clear Mediterranean influence. Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 29-33°C (84-91°F), while winter is commonly about 8-11°C (46-52°F). Rain is possible all year, but is more common in autumn and winter, summer can bring dry hot spells, and spring and autumn may bring showers and thunderstorms.

Before walking to the White Tower, Aristotelous Square, the Nea Paralia waterfront, Ano Poli, the Rotunda, the Arch of Galerius, Modiano Market or Ladadika, check temperature, wind, rain, UV and visibility. The hourly forecast helps choose better times for museums, viewpoints, seaside cafes and evening routes.
