Scales of temperature

The weather is expected to be generally clear today, according to the National Weather Service, while occasional clouds are expected on the mainland, mainly in the mountains, in the midday and afternoon hours. Winds will blow from the north at 4 to 6, in the east locally at 7, and during the day in the central Aegean up to 8 Beaufort. The temperature will not change significantly.

We will head into August 15 with heat and windy weather, according to meteorologists, with the weather conditions favoring the start and spread of fire.

North winds in the Aegean Sea will reach 6 to 7 and on Sunday possibly even 8 Beaufort, keeping the temperature in the windward areas at bearable levels.

A slight drop in temperature in the east with a strong north wind is expected over the next two days, according to the director of the National Meteorological Service (NMS), Thodoros Kolydas.

At the same time, as he points out, from Friday (2/8) the winds will weaken and the temperature will rise.

Theodoros Kolydas warns of the weather of the week starting tomorrow in a new post.

As the well-known meteorologist explains, it was a temporary drop in temperature in Athens. The mercury, in the coming days, will be at a high level for the season and more specifically about 5 degrees Celsius above.

Good weather is anticipated across the country on Sunday, with temperatures climbing up to 38 degrees Celsius.

Facing oven-like temperatures, those navigating Athens during the summer months endure extreme heat daily.

The Southwest Current prevailing in the lower levels of the atmosphere on the coast of Africa and the Central Mediterranean will carry warm air masses towards our region and will cause in Greece very high temperatures which will be maintained at least until Friday 19/7.

The weather seems to have gone mad, as while almost all over the country yesterday the mercury had “hit red” with several areas seeing 40s, in Ioannina within two hours the temperature dropped 16ᵒC and the humidity reached 99%, while the storm that hit the area knocked down trees and columns.

Conditions heat will prevail from today and at least until the end of this week, according to meteorologists’ forecasts. A feature of the next few days will be that the maximum daily temperature will exceed daily 38-40 °C in many parts of our country, reaching at levels 6-8 °C above normal for the season.

The high temperatures that began Monday will continue through at least the weekend with the thermometer topping 40 degrees Celsius.
