Heat it is expected to last until Sunday, July 21. The maximum values temperature they are expected to exceed 40°C in many lowland areas of the country.

Increase in heat load in many areas of the country

According to the weather forecast from Meteo, on Sunday 14 July 2024 a few clouds are expected, which will increase locally during the hot hours of the day. Rain or storms will occur in mountainous parts mainly along Pindos and possibly locally in Thessaly and Central Macedonia. The heat load will increase in many areas of the country, with an emphasis on urban centres.

The temperature in Western Macedonia will vary from 19 to 36 degrees, in the rest of northern Greece from 22 to 37-39 and possibly locally 40 degrees, in Thessaly from 20 to 38-40 and locally 41, in Epirus from 22 to 38- 40 degrees, in the rest of the continental parts from 25 to 37-39 degrees and locally 40-41 degrees, in the Ionian Islands from 23 to 36-38 degrees, in the East Aegean islands from 24 to 36 -38, in the other island parts of the Aegean and in Crete from 24 to 33-35 degrees Celsius.

The winds, in the Aegean and the Ionian, will blow from the north-west with an intensity of 4-5 Beaufort and locally in the Cyclades, Crete and the Dodecanese 6 Beaufort.

I Attica we are waiting for the sunshine. The wind will blow from the north with an intensity of 3-5 Beaufort. The temperature will range from 30 to 38-39 degrees, but in the east of the prefecture it will be kept 3-4 degrees lower.

In Thessaloniki we expect a few clouds, thicker after noon. The wind will blow mainly from the south with 2-3 Beaufort intensity. The temperature will range from 29 to 37 degrees.

Long period of very high temperatures in July

The temperature will show a small but significant rise in the next period in our country, with maximum temperature values ​​above 40 ° C in many lowland areas until next weekend, July 20-21, 2024 at least.

The graph shows 32 forecast cases from July 13 to 28, 2024, from the United States National Center for Environmental Prediction, during temperatures at an altitude of about 1,500 m above mean sea level, the altitude at which we study the course of the gas . masses. Almost all cases agree on very positive deviations of temperature values ​​from the mean climate value of the period 1991-2020. Characteristic of the coming days will be the maximum daily temperature value of more than 38-40 ° C daily in many areas of our country, reaching levels of 8-10 ° C above the normal values ​​for the season. At the same time, minimum temperature values ​​in the early morning in most urban centers will not fall below 28-29 °C.

The reason for this is a long period of high temperature durability of the layout of barometric systems which the map below shows. There is a continuous flow of hot gas mass from North Africa to Eastern Europe (red arrow) based on successive barometric lows (L on the map) in Western Europe. Also, the presence of high pressures in Northern and Central Europe (H on the map) contributes to the additional heating of the gas masses and prevents the barometric minimums of Western Europe from affecting the Balkans. In our country, for this reason, significant rain will be absent, and the meltemi in the Aegean will strengthen due to the combination of high pressures in Central Europe and the low pressure of the barometric low thermal in the Middle East.

It should be noted that similar arrangements of barometric systems are not rare in Europe during the summer, but climate change causes their appearance more often, their intensity, and the further increase in the temperature on land and sea
