The weather will be unstable in most parts of the country until Wednesday (15/5), however, from Thursday (16/5) the temperature will start to rise and will be above normal, according to meteorologists.
In particular, as the director of EMY, Thodoris Kolydas, points out, from Thursday temperatures above 30°C will be recorded in the west, central and south. In fact, locally it will reach 31 to 32°C and maybe even a little more at the end of the week.
But because there will be increased cloud cover in many areas, the mercury may “brake” and we may not see such high values in all areas, he concludes.

Chatraphyllis: Subtropical airmass brings long-lasting heat and significant amounts of African dust
At the same time, according to meteorologist, George Tsatrafillas, “the subtropical airflow (river of air in the upper atmosphere) brings remarkable heat with duration and significant amounts of African dust to our region.”
As he states in a post: “the circulation of the atmosphere in our region from Wednesday 15/5 onwards favours the transfer of dust and warm air masses from the African coast to our region.
This heat wave is not excluded to last until the middle of next week with the mercury shooting from Friday onwards 10 to 12 degrees above normal for the season.
The areas that will be affected by this wave initially are western and southern Greece with temperatures slightly above 30 degrees and from Saturday 18/5 onwards the heat prone areas with temperatures above 35 degrees such as Crete (mainly), Boeotia, Fthiotida, Achaia, Ilia, Argolida, Dodecanese.
In Attica during the Saturday weekend we will exceed 30 degrees, while in Thessaloniki 27 degrees”.
