Greece is expected to experience hotter than normal temperatures this autumn (Image: Getty Images) Temperatures in Greece are expected to be hotter than usual next month, as locals and tourists alike continue to be battered by a months-long streak of extremely hot weather. September is usually warm but not too hot in the Mediterranean country. However, this year the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) has predicted higher temperatures than usual.
It is expected that the unseasonably hot weather could continue into the winter, with an average hotter temperature than the norm. The HNMS autumn forecast shows temperatures will be one or two degrees above the usual - especially in western Greece. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.

The only notable exceptions where temperatures will decrease are in the region between Iceland and Greenland, where negative deviations are expected. While there are some small discrepancies between the two models of weather predictions, they provide a reliable reflection of what the temperatures are likely going to be this autumn, indicating a strong likelihood of a warner-than-usual season in Greece.
