Difficult to expect the following days with a severe and prolonged wave heat to hit the country by raising the temperature to the heights.
From Monday (21.07.2025) the first big heatwave will begin to scan the country this summer, with the temperature reaching both Celsius or even exceeding them.
Due to the thermal load of lasting the meteorologists ring a “bell” of risk pointing out that they will be one of the most Strong waves of the heat of recent years. Extremely difficult will be the nights too with the temperature not drops below 30 degrees.
“A significant rise in temperature will begin on Sunday, which will last several days, at least until next Friday. Especially On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, probably on Friday, we can see very high temperatures, That is, locally 42 to 43 points, possibly in some areas that this limit will be exceeded, “Costas Lagouvardos, Meteorologist – Research Director at the Athens National Observatory, tells Orange Press Agency.
According to Mr. Lagouvardo this means we expect ‘a strong heatwave, one of the most powerful in the last summer and needed special attention, As it will affect the whole country, while in many areas and especially in large urban centers temperatures will remain high in the evening. ” Due to the extreme thermal burden, it is not excluded that there will be severe cases of stress in the population.
Thermal Burning: What does the red alarm mean
Due to the heat the situation in the atmosphere is expected to be choking… In the coming days in several zones of the country – including Attica – there will be an extreme level of hazardous thermal burden (red alarm).
According to the Heat-Alarm biometerological warning system used by the Athens Observatory, in conditions of extreme thermal burden (red)…:
It is possible to develop serious health problems (eg heat stroke) for all groups of the population.
Exposure to sunlight or / or physical activity (exercise or work) during the day, It significantly increases the risk of health.
The absence of liquids and electrolytes and/or the absence of adequate body cooling significantly increases the risk of health.
Low air quality (eg increased concentrations of suspended particles) and the consequent health effects (eg deterioration of asthma status).
Power breaks are possible due to increased energy posts from the use of air conditioning.
The temperature in the Balkans will be up to 10 degrees higher than the average price of the period 1991–2020
As meteo.gr reports, atmospheric traffic over Europe, it will favor the transport of very hot gas masses from Africa to the Balkans and our country, resulting in very high temperaturesstarting on Monday 21/07 and at least until Friday 25/07/2025.
On the map the temperature at the level of *850 HPA (about 1500 meters above sea level) during the period from Monday 21/07 until Friday 25/07 in the Balkans will be up to 10 degrees higher than the average price of 1991–2020.
The maximum temperature on the surface depends on many factors, such as the nephocation and the wind, in combination with topography.
However, with today’s data, maximum temperatures on the soil surface appear to be at very high levels for the season, With the maximum prices reaching and exceeding 44 ° C.
