The presenter Eleni Tsolaki is, by mistake, still making an international career through this meme, which has for years gone beyond the narrow Greek borders and has conquered the entire planet, with the help of the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.
Elon Musk idolized the way Eleni Tsolaki told the weather, making her known to millions of people.
Wow, that is a great way to wake up in Greece!

A few days ago, a Spaniard was wondering on Twitter if we Greeks have any idea how important this meme-video is to Spaniards.
Will Greece know the meaning of this video for us??

The responses show that the passage has acquired its own, almost “ritual” use.
“I live in Greece and I don’t understand what you find so funny about it, other than a little grace. Doesn’t seem much different than an average morning show to me,” one user wrote.
The answer came immediately: “You’ve lived in Greece for so long that you probably forgot Spanish humor.”
Another explained: “The best is the meaning it has as a meme to celebrate the good weather, while if you look at the map it shows rain all over Greece.”
Someone put it more bluntly: “The funniest thing is that on that day Greece will have bad weather and yet it looks like it’s inviting you to the beach.”
And perhaps the most telling comment: “Best of all? The girl announces rains and storms all over the country. This is a life attitude.”
Even Greeks admitted: “I’m Greek and I just realized that the map shows rain. Is it his fault that he dances like it’s sunny?’
The “happy Greek girl meme” is now used in Spain as a summer reaction, regardless of the forecast.
