With high temperatures to the west and north and slightly more bearable heat further east with the help of thunderstorms, the next few days will roll by with the heat becoming more intense next week, according to Klearchos Marousakis.

As the OPEN meteorologist says in his forecast, the mercury is expected to rise again from the weekend, while next week a new heatwave is coming, which will be more intense than the previous one.

Essentially, the winds will weaken, giving “room” for warming. In fact, according to Marousakis, it is possible to see temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of next week and Thessaly, the Peloponnese and the southeastern Aegean are expected to be particularly affected.

Meteorologist Thodoros Kolydas predicts a significant strengthening of the wind today and tomorrow, with gusts reaching up to 7 Beaufort. From Friday, the winds will weaken slightly, dropping to 5 to 6 Beaufort.

At the same time, towards the end of the week, a further rise in temperature is expected, which makes it necessary to exercise increased caution, especially in areas with dry vegetation and a high risk index.
