The confrontation between meteorologists is raging. THE Giannis Kallianosin the prognosis time who uploaded to social media, made it clear that we would not have a generalized heatwave though in Epirus, western solid, western and southern Peloponnese expected from Sunday to Tuesday the temperature to range from 40 to 42 points Celsius.

The proper weather forecast tends to become a luxury service. Anyone who expects heat conditions in the coming days because of “somewhere” read it and therefore “locked” it as a scenario in her mind, I would like to mention the following:
With so much overly and unfounded scenarios that we read daily for the weather, in the end the reliable prognosis will become … a luxury or, worse, will risk gradually disappearing. So let’s clarify things accurately:
– No, 40s do not return all over the country from today Sunday to Tuesday – Wednesday. The high temperatures of 40-42 ° C will be exclusively in Western Greece.
– In Athens, of course, there are no 40 ° C. The maximum temperature by the third will reach their 37-38°Cwhile its gradual retreat will begin on Wednesday.
-Areas that will be most affected by the heat (40-42 ° C) will be: Epirus, Western Solidarity, as well as western and southern Peloponnese. In Ionian Islands The temperature will reach up to the 39-40°C. There is a little probability, in Western lowlands of the Peloponnese On Tuesday, August 12th, there are very local temperatures that may exceed for a while and 42°C.
– temperatures 39-40°C are also likely to be marked in lowlands of Central & Eastern Macedonia, as well as Thrace.
– In the rest of lid The temperature will not exceed their 37-38°C.
– In the aforementioned days, in its islands Aegeanmaximum temperatures will reach the 34-36°Cwith the exception of Northeast Aegean where they are probably expected 38-39°C.
In conclusion:
a) The intense heat of 3-4 days will virtually suffer only Western Greece.
b) From 13-14 to 17-18 August, the temperature will drop to levels tolerated for the season (33-35 ° C in most areas, 35-37 ° C to the west).
c) Meltemi does not seem to fade until August 17-18. There may be small fluctuations in its intensity, but it will remain enhanced.
d) the risk of manifestation fire will remain increased at least for another week.
In detail for Attica:
-Sunday 10 August: 36-37 ° C
– Monday 11 August: 38 ° C
– Tuesday 12 August: 38 ° C
-Wednesday 13 August: 35-36 ° C
– Thursday 14 August: 34 ° C
-Friday August 15: 32-33 ° C
Today, anyone who has access to – anyway freely and available – prognostic data can publicly post his own assessment. The result is often inaccurate forecasts that are reproduced on social networks and many websites, creating incorrect impressions and misinformation.
Few professionals and amateurs are consistently and responsible. The other hundreds of “forecasts” that are circulating daily are rough or incorrect, and because they are public, they affect audiences and opinions.
To attract more “clicks”, some low -traffic websites choose to present the statements of scientists. At the same time, there are cases where the need to see its name in webpage titles leads to excessive estimates, which – in the way or not – depreciate the prognosis and the meteorology science itself.
That is why I insist that the right, responsible and scientifically documented prognosis tends to become an endangered service. Let’s say things by their name.
