A lively and changing weather pattern is set to shape the day, bringing cloud, bursts of rain and the occasional rumble of thunder across parts of the island.
Skies will turn mainly cloudy at times, with brief showers moving through. Isolated thunderstorms are expected, adding a dramatic touch to the day. In a few cases, hail may fall.
In the higher mountains, the weather takes on a more wintry feel, with snow or sleet possible on the highest peaks.
Winds will begin gently from the south-west, blowing light to moderate at 3 to 4 Beaufort. As the day goes on, they will swing round to the north-west and freshen, becoming moderate and at times strong in exposed areas. This shift will help clear the air and bring a sense of movement to the day.
The sea will reflect the changing conditions. It will start slightly rough before gradually becoming rough, with western waters turning choppier as the afternoon progresses.
Despite the unsettled feel, temperatures will remain mild for the season. Highs will reach around 16°C inland and along the coast, while the higher mountains will see temperatures near 6°C.
This evening, the weather will calm slightly. Skies will be partly cloudy, with the chance of a few light showers in places.
North-westerly winds will continue at light to moderate strength, occasionally turning strong in wind-exposed areas. The sea will stay slightly rough to rough, especially in the west.
Overnight temperatures will dip to around 6°C inland. The west coast will fall to about 11°C, with the rest of the coastline near 9°C. In the higher mountains, temperatures will drop to around 2°C, allowing frost to form locally and adding a crisp, wintry edge.
Looking ahead to Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the weather keeps its changeable character. Partly cloudy skies are expected, with occasional showers or isolated thunderstorms. In the highest mountain areas, snow or sleet may make a brief return.
The outlook becomes more encouraging as the days progress. Temperatures are set to rise gradually, climbing to slightly above the seasonal average.
For winter enthusiasts, the mountains remain well dressed.
At the time of the forecast, snow at Chionistra measured 27 centimetres, offering a reminder that the season still has a little magic left.
