The mercury soared to 31.4 degrees Celsius (88.5 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday in the central town of Livadia -- the highest-ever recorded for March, according to National Observatory of Athens' Meteo.gr.
“The very high maximum temperatures recorded during the last four days (from Wednesday to Saturday) in the country, were record highs for the month of March in many areas,“ Meteo.gr said.
“To have such temperatures so early in March, this has never happened before!” meterologist Panagiotis Giannopoulos told ERT television.
This winter is listed as the 13th warmest in Greece. The previous one, in 2023-2024, remains the warmest on record.
“A cold air mass on Tuesday will give showers and snow all over the country,“ Giannopoulos said.
The abrupt change is particularly problematic for the agricultural sector.
Greece has become a climate-change hotspot. It had its hottest summer and warmest winter on record in 2024, according to data from the Meteo.gr network.
Thirty-one significant weather incidents disrupted daily life in 2023, well above the 2000-2024 average, while nine weather-related deaths were registered.
