As September draws to a close, stable high-pressure patterns continue to dominate Greek FIRs, ensuring pristine VFR conditions across major hubs. While Athens (LGAV) and Rhodes (LGRP) maintain comfortable late-summer warmth with favorable density altitudes, northern and island sectors like Thessaloniki (LGTS) and Heraklion (LGIR) experience refreshing seasonal cooling and steadily easing Meltemi breezes, delivering optimal operational stability for all domestic and long-haul

High-pressure stability continues across Aegean and mainland FIRs for the week of 30 August – 5 September 2026, sustaining pristine VFR conditions and easing Meltemi winds. Athens (LGAV) and Rhodes (LGRP) peak at 31°C–35°C with high density altitudes requiring load checks. Thessaloniki (LGTS) cools slightly to 28°C–32°C with stable ILS approaches. Heraklion (LGIR) maintains 29°C–32°C highs, regulated by steady 15–18 knot maritime breezes.
