Greece: Adverse weather forecast across most of the country through at least May 3Severe weather is forecast across much of Greece through at least May 3. Thunderstorms may be accompanied by heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts, lightning, and possible hail storms. Heavy downpours associated with the storms may trigger flooding in low-lying areas, and strong winds could cause property damage and power outages.As of early May 2, authorities have issued the following weather warnings across the country:* Orange thunderstorm warnings (the middle level on a three-tier scale): Ionian Islands Region* Yellow thunderstorm, heavy rain, and strong wind warnings: the rest of Greece, except the North Aegean and far eastern South Aegean regionsAuthorities will likely issue new alerts or update/rescind existing advisories as weather conditions change over the coming days.Hazardous ConditionsSustained heavy rainfall could trigger flooding in low-lying communities near rivers, streams, and creeks. Urban flooding is also possible in developed areas with easily overwhelmed stormwater drainage systems. Sites located downstream from large reservoirs or rivers may be subject to flash flooding after relatively short periods of intense rainfall. Landslides are possible in hilly or mountainous areas, especially where heavy rainfall has saturated the soil.

First heatwave to hit Greece next weekTemperatures are expected to rise further from the middle of next week across the entire country, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in some regions, in the season’s first heatwave. The stuffy conditions are forecast to prevail for 4-5 days.
Greece bracing for impact of heatwave KleonThe state mechanism has been placed on high alert to deal with heatwave Kleon, which will prevail throughout the country in the coming days. The most difficult days will be Friday and Saturday, and according to the latest forecast, the high temperatures will continue into next week.The Health Ministry has noted that the elderly, infants and young children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people who are overweight or obese, as well as people who work or exercise intensively in hot environments are at greatest risk.Precautions are also advised for people with chronic illnesses (cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lung disease, kidney disease, liver disease, mental illness, dementia, alcoholism or drug abuse etc) and patients suffering from other medical conditions.
Heatwave Cleon returning in full force after WednesdayAccording to the latest forecast by the National Meteorological Service (EMY), temperatures will be lower and their intensity less severe for eastern parts of Greece for about three days, due to winds reaching up to 7 Beaufort in the Aegean.Temperatures will start to climb again from Thursday, when the winds fall off, and reach a new peak affecting the entire country between Friday and Sunday, before the cooling winds start to blow once more next Monday.The maximum temperatures this week will be as follows:From Monday until Wednesday, temperatures will peak at 38-40C in western Greece and up to 41C in the northwest Peloponnese, but not exceed 35-38C in the north, possibly 39C in parts of Thrace, 37-39C in the east and 36-38C on the islands of the Aegean.On Thursday, maximum temperatures will start to climb to between 40-42C and reach as high as 43C in some locations on the mainland, be at 39-41C on the Ionian islands and between 37-39C on the Aegean islands.Between Friday and Sunday, the temperatures will climb even higher, with the maximum at 41-43C on the mainland, or even 44C in some locations.Greece will start to get cooler again from next Monday, especially in the north, with temperatures dropping 2-3 degrees celsius.
Heatwave to return on ThursdayA second heatwave will hit Greece from Thursday until Sunday, pushing temperatures as high as 44 Celsius (111.2 Fahrenheit). But even when the heatwave (defined as temperatures at least equal to 39C) recedes, temperatures will remain high for the following several days, meteorologists warn.Friday will be the high point of the heatwave, with 44C expected in the interior of the regions of Central Greece and Thessaly and even some islands seeing 40C.
Greece faces hottest July weekend in 50 years, forecaster says, as scores of wildfires rageTourism sites including Acropolis to close during hottest parts of day as temperatures set to remain over 40CGreece is set to endure its hottest July weekend in 50 years, a top meteorologist has warned, as the country wilts under a prolonged heatwave set to last well into next week.Government ministries have advised people to work from home where possible and not to venture out unnecessarily. The exceptional temperatures also mean key tourism sites will be closed during the hottest part of the day.
Heatwave to continue next week, some respite as of ThursdayThe National Meteorological Service (EMY) said in an updated emergency weather report on Sunday said that the heatwave will continue mostly unabated until Thursday, when it will post a moderate decline.Sunday’s thermal surge prevailed throughout the country with temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius in Thessaly, central Greece.On Monday, temperatures will decline between 2 to 5 degrees with the higher drop observed in the eastern parts of the country. Temperatures will range between 38 to 42 degrees Celsius. On Tuesday and Wednesday, scorching heat will push temperatures up to 42 and 44 degrees.A moderate respite is expected as of Thursday, with temperatures expected to drop by 6 to 8 degrees in most parts of the country.
More heat, with a small breakAnother heatwave is expected to push temperatures in many parts of Greece above the 40 degrees Celsius mark again this weekend, though forecasters are promising cooler weather at the start of next week.The national weather service, EMY, said that temperatures will continue to inch up on Friday after a very warm Thursday, to reach 38-40 Celsius in Central Greece and the Eastern Aegean, with other parts just being just a couple of degrees below these levels. A forecast for light clouds will likely make conditions feel worse by adding humidity to the atmosphere.Saturday is going to be scorcher, though the first hints of rain will be seen in the Ionian and western mainland later in the day, with the wet weather spreading to other parts of the country on Sunday, mainly in the west and north.EMY also warned of the possibility of storms on Sunday.
