The heatwave, among the strongest the country has seen in recent years, has brought persistent clear skies, minimal rainfall, and dangerous levels of heat stress — especially in urban areas like Athens and Thessaloniki.
Very high temperatures will persist across Greece in the coming days, with the highest readings expected on Thursday, July 24, and Friday, July 25, according to the updated Emergency Weather Bulletin. The heatwave is likely to end nationwide by Sunday, July 27.
According to the updated emergency weather bulletin issued at noon on July 4, very high temperatures are forecast in our country until Wednesday (09-07-25). The highest values (maximum values of more than 40 degrees) will occur from today (07-07-25) in the interior of mainland Greece. On Thursday (10-07-25) a significant drop in temperature is expected throughout the country.
According to the National Meteorological Service (EMY), strong northerly winds—reaching up to 9 Beaufort locally—are expected across the Cyclades, Crete, the Dodecanese, and the eastern Aegean. The Fire Risk Prediction Map issued by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection has marked at least 10 regions, including Attica, in the “red zone” for extreme fire risk.
