In detail the post by Yiannis Kallianou
By tomorrow 43-44 ° C and WEST GREECE
– It will last until Sunday, July 27, so it will last 7 days. Monday, July 28, cannot be considered as heat day because maximum temperatures in continental sections will touch their 36-38°Cwhile the sections to be marked 39 or 40 points It will be very few. It could also be described as a day of the heat exit.
– From today, Thursday noon, the strengthening of Meltemi will be felt in the Aegean. The tensions of the North will reach 6-7 beaufort in the central Aegean. This reinforcement will have the following consequences:
a) The risk of fire mainly in the eastern and southern island sections, but also in the eastern continents, including Attica.
b) The temperature distribution in Attica will change compared to the previous days. That is, from Thursday, Friday (mainly) but also on Saturday, there will be more areas where 40-41 points will be marked in the county. That is to say, the relative humidity will recede a bit mainly to the east and northeast (and perhaps south of the prefecture) but will be affected by 40 ° C or 41 ° C that had not been affected so many days.
c) Friday and Saturday will be difficult days for Western Greece. This will happen because the North North Diets, that is, the “components” of Meltemi that will “overcome” the mountains of the inner mainland of the mainland, will warm the western lowlands to the heat in the heat, resulting in 43-44 ° C.
– The relative humidity in an area is not something we must forget. Equally, we should give more importance. For example, in Thessaloniki, 37-38 ° C is clearly more aggravating than 40-41 ° C in Athens because with relative humidity reaching 45-50%, the heat sensation reaches 43-44 ° C.
– This heatwave is not unprecedented for Greece. But he is strong. And I would describe him as one of the strongest in the last 15 years. Not of course the strongest, if one remembers the not -so -distant 2010, 2012, the near 2021 or other years through 2010 until today.
– The Tuesday that passed us (July 22), in Thessaly and in the central Central. 44-45°C And these temperatures were also extensive, that is, not local or individual. According to Ogimet, Greece was the country that its temperatures were first in Europe. This was the case for Larissa, Karditsa, Tragana and Trikala but other areas close to them.
– Athens’ temperatures for the next few days will be as follows:
-Friday July 25: 40-42 ° C
– Saturday 26 July: 40 ° C (very difficult 41 ° C)
-Sunday July 27: 40-41 ° C
– Monday July 28: 38 ° C
– Tuesday 29 July: 36 ° C

In areas where high temperatures are prevalent, the GAPP draws attention to people who belong to vulnerable groups to be particularly careful to avoid health problems, such as thermal exhaustion and heat stroke, which may be caused by the high temperatures that will prevail.
In particular, according to the self -protection guidelines from high temperatures, it is recommended for citizens:
• Stay in cool and shady areas away from overcrowding, use air conditioners or fans, and avoid heavy physical work in high temperature, apnea and high humidity.
