The meteorologist, speaking to Mega, also emphasized that the conditions that will prevail in the coming days will constitute a great threat for fires. Winds are expected to weaken from Sunday.

Three days of Holy Spirit: The weather “locked” – Sakis Arnautoglou’s forecast [βίντεο]
Sakis Arnautoglou informs us about the average temperature during the three days of Holy Spirit with his new post.
As he clarifies, nothing special is expected in terms of rain during the above period of time, while the winds in most areas of the country will remain weakened only in the Aegean and mainly from the height of the Sporades and further south there will be gales of intensity 6-7 and locally in the Cyclades 8 Beaufort!
In more detail, Sakis Arnautoglou “sees” 38 degrees from Friday to at least Sunday – and this while this Monday the average temperature will be at 33 degrees Celsius. Sakis Arnautoglou does not include Holy Spirit Monday in his schedule, but Saturday and Sunday will be hot, so the three days will be very summery.
Weather: Forecasters warn of dangerous ‘Hot Dry Windy’ cocktail
The latest weather forecasts raise concerns about the ‘Hot – Dry – Windy’ combination ringing ‘bells’ for wildfires.
At the same time, despite the “cherry melt” that will cool the country a little today Tuesday (18/6), a new mini-heatwave is just around the corner.
According to the latest available forecast data analyzed by the FLAME pyrometeorological team of the National Observatory of Athens (EAA) / meteo.gr, the pyrometeorological conditions in our country are expected to worsen from today until Friday (21/6).
The reason for the significant deterioration is the strengthening of the northerly winds (6-7 Beaufort) over the Aegean and the eastern mainland in combination with the consolidation of hot and dry conditions, which significantly increase the flammability of dead forest fuels.Advertisement
Overall, the fire-meteorological conditions from today Tuesday 18 to (at least) Friday 21 June 2024 are expected to be characterized by the particularly dangerous, for the occurrence and spread of forest fires, type of weather Hot – Dry – Windy.
A very high potential for any forest fires that occur to be wind-driven with potentially high heat loads is expected in Attica, Boeotia (locally), K. and S. Evia, Lesvos, Chios, N. Samos (locally) and S. Crete .
A high potential for any wildfires that do occur to be wind-driven with potentially high heat loads is expected in Corinth, Argolis, Laconia (locally) and Lemnos (locally).
A very high potential for any forest fires that occur to be wind-driven with potentially high heat loads is expected in Attica, Boeotia (locally), K. and S. Evia, Lesvos, Chios, N. Samos (locally) and S. Crete .
A high potential for any wildfires that do occur to be wind-driven with potentially high heat loads is expected in Corinth, Argolis, Laconia (locally) and Lemnos (locally).
For Wednesday (19/6)
A very high potential for any forest fires that occur to be wind-driven with potentially large heat loads is expected in Attica, Boeotia (locally), K. and S. Evia, Laconia, Chios, Samos and S. Crete.
High and locally very high potential for any forest fires that do occur to be wind-driven with potentially high heat loads is expected in Corinth, Argolis, Cyclades and Lesvos.
A locally high potential for any forest fires that occur to be fire-inducing (self-driven) with potentially large thermal loads is expected in Ilia and Messinia.
In the above geographic zones, special attention should be paid to areas where northerly winds will “align” with topography and forest fuel (eg, when the wind blows perpendicular to the slope of a densely vegetated mountain mass), maximizing extreme fire behavior potential.
Finally, the forecast data currently available indicates a continuation of the Hot – Dry – Windy pyrometeorological pattern until Friday, June 21, 2024.
According to meteorologists, the temperatures that will be recorded in the coming days from the warm air mass that will come from northern Africa, will be above the usual levels for the season. Until next weekend, the mercury is expected to climb to 40 degrees in several regions of the country.
Kolydas: No extreme temperatures, but there will be persistent heat”
The weather is expected to be hot almost throughout the country in the coming days, according to Thodoris Kolidas. As the director of the EMY mentioned, although the temperature will move high, 4-6 degrees above the normal levels for the season, the meltemias will prevent the heat wave situation. In fact, it is expected to be cool in the east, while at the same time the meltemias will prevent the possibility of rain in the Cyclades, Northern Aegean and Crete. “No extremes, but there will be persistence of heat – Locally the meltemi will cool the east.
️ NO EXTREME PRICES, BUT THERE WILL BE PERSISTENCY OF HEAT – LOCALLY THE MELTEMA WILL COOL THE EAST, BUT WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD.
✅ With temperatures 4 to 6 degrees above normal levels, the next few days will pass in Athens (1) as… pic.twitter.com/RSpuJZnLlE— Theodoros Kolydas (@KolydasT) June 17, 2024
Weather: What is the “kiraz meltem” and what will it bring to Greece
“Kiraz Meltem” is what will help us withstand the heat. The cherry melt will keep the thermometer tolerable since it will remove the African dust and keep. Of course, at the same time, it will increase the risk of fires, which has alarmed the authorities.
The post of Thodoris Kolidas:
“KIRAZ MELTEM” IN ACTION
The Turks as a people were more concerned with the effect of the wind on agricultural production and for this reason the meltemi took names related to fruit production, such as initially “kiraz meltem” (cherry), later “kavun meltem” (melon). and finally the “uzum meltem” (grape) at the end of August, when the production of the grape begins to be prepared. The video shows the beneficial effect of meltem in our country, against the “attacks” of warm masses both from the coasts of Africa and from the depths of Anatolia (kiraz meltem).

Kairos-Yiannopoulos: Enhanced meltemi in the Aegean
ERT meteorologist Panagiotis Giannopoulos notes that the main feature of the weather this week will be the enhanced meltemi in the Aegean. However, the winds in most areas of the country will remain weak, mainly in the west the temperature will rise gradually.
Kairos-Arnautoglou: When and where will we see 40s
Meteorologist Sakis Arnautoglou reports that the thermometer on Friday will show an average of 38 degrees, a temperature that is expected to rise to 39 and 40 degrees Celsius in western and southern mainland Greece, as well as in Attica and Crete in areas far from the sea .
Weather-Marousakis: A warm air mass is coming from northern Africa
According to meteorologist Clearchos Marousakis, a warm air mass from northern Africa will reach our country in the next few days, as a result of which it will be divided into two parts: from the Pindos mountain range and further west, higher temperatures are expected with 37-38 degrees Celsius close to Thursday to Friday, but further east due to the prevailing winds they will make the situation somewhat better with temperatures reaching 34-36 °C.
From today Tuesday, tomorrow Wednesday onwards, the risk of fire will increase with the help of both the rain and the high temperatures. Finally, over the weekend, heat is expected mainly in western Greece, with the temperature stabilizing around 34-37 degrees Celsius.
