The new week in Greece will continue without significant rainfall, dominated by strong Meltemi winds in the Aegean. These winds will persist until Friday, bringing cooler conditions to coastal areas. Starting Saturday, however, temperatures will gradually rise, reaching above-normal levels for the season. Maximums are expected around 35–37°C in most regions, according to meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis.

Winds throughout the week will stay at 6–7 Beaufort, possibly strengthening slightly on Thursday but not exceeding 8 Beaufort. Local, brief showers will occur in mountainous and inland regions—mainly in the Peloponnese, Macedonia, and Epirus—during the afternoon and evening.

Authorities remain on high alert today in Heraklion, Lasithi, Chios, Samos, Ikaria, and Karpathos. According to the Fire Risk Prediction Map, these areas face a very high fire danger (Category 4). The General Secretariat for Civil Protection has informed all relevant state services, regional authorities, and municipalities to be on increased readiness to respond immediately to potential fire outbreaks.
