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.
Greece is preparing for an extended and intense heatwave set to affect the country from Monday, July 21, through Saturday, July 26. While temperatures may not reach historic highs, meteorologists warn that the real danger lies in the heatwave’s duration and widespread impact.
