Greece is entering one of the most dangerous pysterological periods of the last decade.
Country holds its breath as today Sunday July 13th and up to at least 20, one explosive mixture of hot gas, low humidity and heavy winds ‘Sets up’ the conditions for a new hell.
The disaster recipe has a name: hot -dry – Windy
It’s not just a heatwave. It’s not just temperatures-shock or dry air. The triple blow – internationally known as Hot–Dry–Windy– is what his scientists Meteo.grher EMSbut also of the European Copernicus ECMWFthey characterize Ideal for rapid evolution fires, high intensity and unpredictable behavior.

Attica, Euboea, Boeotia, Argolida, Corinthia: Level 4 Risk – Red Alarm.
-
Crete, Samos, Ikaria, Lesvos, Psara, Chios: The Aegean is boiling – literally and metaphorically.
-
Athens, Larissa, Heraklion: Urban thermal islands are converted into traps for vulnerable populations and the focus of ignition.
As the Nikos Katsaros of EAA, “This year’s deceased fuel accumulation, coupled with the obsessive presence of thermal dome, is an ideal preamble to a multitude of disaster.”
A country in the razor cut: between prevention and tragedy
Authorities warn:
It is enough for a spark, a cigarette butter, a carelessness.
And if this picture is reminiscent of déjà vu, it is why We have already lived it – and we paid for it with blood. Mandra, Eye, Varimbi, Rhodes, were not “natural phenomena”. Were announced tragedies.

Copernicus: ‘Thermal Dome’ without expiration date
Satellite models leave no room for doubt:
The thermal dome above the Eastern Mediterranean will remain at least until July 20 – and possibly beyond that date. Greece is in the heart of the influence zone. The Pyromological conditions will worsen day by day.
No one will save us if we are not saved on our own
OR fire does not negotiate. Does not expect government subsidies or meetings. Does not discriminate. If it comes, it will be late.
🔺 The coming week is no more week of heat. It is a test of preparedness, political seriousness and social responsibility.
🔺 The management of the climate crisis is no longer a matter of “the future”. It’s here. And it burns.
