Gkióna · Central Greece, Greece. The forecast point is the summit at 2510 m. Take a moment to compare the mountain with a nearby settlement before planning your outing. Wind and precipitation timing can matter as much as temperature on an exposed route.

For a nearby comparison, Lidoriki is about 10 km away in a straight line. Check both forecasts if your plans include these places. The distance is measured in a straight line, not along the road.

Around the June solstice, there are approximately 14h 50m of daylight, compared with 9h 30m at the December solstice. These are astronomical estimates, not sunshine forecasts; cloud and the local horizon affect the light you see.

Compare seasons in the weather history. Check the selected period, source and data coverage: station observations and gridded historical estimates describe different records.

Temperature and precipitation history over 10, 20 or 30 years. The 100-year option searches for a nearby NOAA station with an archive starting sufficiently early; the table reports actual completeness. NASA POWER / MERRA-2 and ERA5 are gridded historical estimates, while NOAA GHCNd contains station observations. These different sources are not merged into one time series.

A wet day has at least 1 mm total precipitation. Where the source separates rain, the rain-day indicator uses rain only. A snowfall day has at least 0.1 cm fresh snow where supplied; this does not imply settled snow cover. This NASA POWER dataset does not supply snowfall. Missing values are not zero. Averages and extremes use complete months or years as labelled, without automatically calibrating the forecast.

How this forecast is calculated

The blend uses available model families once per variable. Grids depend on the selected source and are shown in the comparison. A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Missing values remain blank. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook.

Open-Meteo automatically uses terrain elevation and temperature downscaling. We do not subtract another temperature correction per 100 metres or transfer the Agios Stefanos station’s empirical calibration to other locations. Clicking the map requests the nearest cell of each model at your coordinates. Listed cities use a land cell with similar elevation. Zooming does not increase the weather model’s resolution.

Pressure is the daily mean reduced to sea level. Wind is the average of the models’ daily maximum wind speeds, not a gust. Today includes hours that have already passed; these are model estimates rather than station observations.

Snow forecast · Gkióna

Check the Snowfall column for estimated fresh snow in centimetres and compare individual models. These values do not predict the final snow depth on the ground. Surface temperature, wet-bulb temperature, the vertical temperature profile, elevation and precipitation intensity all matter. A daily minimum or an 850 hPa temperature alone cannot determine whether snow will fall or settle.

Weather symbols and precipitation types

Drizzle, rain, thunderstorms, mixed rain/snow and snow use available model weather codes and hourly precipitation. Hail is shown only when a model supplies WMO code 96 or 99; absence of this code does not rule out hail. Open-Meteo currently provides thunderstorm-with-hail forecasts only in Central Europe, so this signal is not available for Greece. A daily symbol summarises weather during the day, not every hour. Simultaneous liquid precipitation and snow within one model hour is labelled mixed; different hours or models may indicate a transition instead.

💨 Wind ≥40 km/h or gusts ≥60 km/h · 🥶 Low ≤−5 °C · 🌡️ High ≥35 °C. These are display thresholds, not official weather warnings. Missing gust forecasts are excluded. Symbols use the same temperatures as the displayed forecast.

AIGEFS

United States · NOAA / NCEP

Artificial intelligence ensemble with 31 members. It complements the single AIGFS forecast with alternative scenarios and their spread.

The blend uses the values available for each day and variable. Coverage falls as individual models reach their forecast limits. The two IFS products are not independent models. Model spread shows disagreement, not the probability of a weather event.

Wind: maximum daily speed at 10 m and prevailing direction of origin. Direction uses a speed-weighted circular calculation; missing or strongly opposing directions display a dash. 🥶: low below 0°C. 🥵: high above 30°C. 💨 in Conditions: wind at least 40 km/h or gusts at least 60 km/h.

Forecast sources and model coverage

Forecast source

The choice applies to widgets, maps and forecasts. Actual station readings stay unchanged. Automatic tries Open-Meteo first, then available direct sources if a supported request fails.

Open-Meteo

Data service providing forecasts from NOAA, ECMWF, ECCC, DWD, the Met Office, Météo-France and JMA. Available models, variables and grids depend on the location and product.

Direct model sources

Xionia collects data directly from the model providers. Forecasts and maps are served after the source cycle has been published and collected. The selected product shows its model, resolution, available variables and run.

How models combine

Each available family contributes once per variable. Direct forecasts select the freshest available GFS grid and use equal family weights as the baseline. Local weights apply only where enabled after validation. The comparison shows actual percentages and model cycles.

Additional model forecasts are also shown for comparison and backtesting. Their presence does not automatically add weight to the combined forecast; check the displayed weights.

Coverage and missing values

A dash means unavailable data. Wind and gust may use different models. AIGFS temperature is excluded when it cannot be compared on the same elevation basis. Six-hour precipitation is water equivalent, not snow depth.

Time window

A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers only the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook. Agreement between models is not a probability from a true ensemble.

Ensemble forecasts

Ensemble systems provide multiple forecast scenarios; the available systems appear in the chart selector and image catalogue. AIGFS is the single forecast; AIGEFS is the separate ensemble. Available variables and forecast horizons differ by system.

Snowfall forecast for Gkiona · Pyramida

The forecast point for Gkiona · Pyramida is at 2,510 m (Greece · 38.6471°, 22.2523°).

Use the daily forecast to compare fresh snow, temperature and wind. The mountain view shows the selected day and model; Xionia’s combined forecast is selected initially. Fresh snowfall and snow already on the ground are separate measurements. Snowfall elevation is a model value or a labelled approximate estimate when available. Days 8–14 show a less certain trend.

The summit forecast can differ from conditions at the trailhead and in nearby settlements.
