Warmer days will be the days from next Sunday until Wednesday, where the mercury will reach up to 36 degrees Celsius in certain geographical areas, locally.

As the director of EMY, Thodoris Kolydas, says:

“Although there are still some differences between the forecast data, at the same time we have many points where their views converge .
✅So we can talk about a gradual rise in temperature from Sunday onwards, with the wind field being generally weakened. Sea breezes will be beneficial to coastal areas.
✅The warmth will last until next Wednesday. Temperature ranges will be described through next Monday, where the atmospheric forecast is good. Tuesday and Wednesday will be re-evaluated in the coming days.
✅Temperature comparisons at the 850hPa level are presented in a table, followed by a video showing the evolution based on the ECMWF and GFS model.
SUMMARY OF THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES
1. Saturday: 32 to 33 and locally in the east 34°C
2. Sunday : 32 to 34 and locally 35°C
3. Monday 34 to 35°C on the mainland from Thessaly and further south and locally 36°C”
