Snowfall is anticipated in the mountains and foothills of Epirus, Thessaly, Sterea Ellada and eastern Peloponnese, including low-altitude regions in Macedonia and Thrace. Rainfall is expected in the remaining areas of Thessaly, Epirus, Sterea, eastern Sterea, eastern Peloponnese, Ionian and Aegean.

Following Saturday’s snowfall, road issues prompted traffic restrictions in the Trikala regional road network, especially affecting the national highways.
