Clearchos Marousakis gave a weather forecast for the next period, relativizing the concept of heat.
Clearchos Marousakis said that no heat wave is expected until the end of the week due to the blowing winds, explaining that not all high temperatures recorded can be characterized as “heat”.
Marousakis: His post about the expected rains
“IT’S NOT ALL HEAT…
I don’t think there has been another summer where the term “heat” has been used so much.
Yes indeed, this year we are for a long period of time under the influence of high to very high temperature values, conditions which significantly burden the human body. All this and another, with every wave of rising mercury there is talk of a heat wave.
Also, making comparisons of today’s readings with corresponding ones from many years ago and finding that one record after another is broken, I don’t think makes any sense, since then we had a completely different number of stations, as well as the then network operating under different conditions and with other specifications.
All of the above raises a lot of debate, a debate which concerns the scientific community and the competent state bodies. And at some point this discussion must be held and a reliable network of weather stations created on which we will be able to base our conclusions in the future that will lead us to the truth as far as the operating limits of the atmosphere and Nature in general allow us.
But until these are done (if they are done and especially if we want them to be done), there will always be many question marks as to whether our conclusions are indeed correct or are they the same as we would have reached years ago if we had used the corresponding tools back then.
I remember from the very first days in the chairs of the Physics department, great importance was given to how we measure a quantity (e.g. temperature), as well as the instrument we will use for this measurement.
As far as the new heat wave is concerned, until the end of the week it doesn’t look like this (meteorologically at least…), with the meltemias dominating and the heat being more intense towards the west and southeast Aegean.
In our first diagram you can see the temperature fluctuation curves where we have marked with the black lines the limits of the heat in a way, while in the second map we mark with the white arrows the colors that lead to heat and which in no way concern the our country.
Let’s take into account that a maximum temperature of 35 to 36 degrees is considered close to the normal levels for the season, so the 38 degrees we will meet in the west away from the influence of the melt should not be news. Every summer we experience these things, don’t consider them all extreme!
Have a nice rest of the day everyone!
PS This very long dry spell appears to be coming to an end as there are indications under the long range forecast system we are running of a circulation pattern that will bring a decent period with plenty of rain.
We will analyze more in August this whole issue that is bothering our farmers.
At the same time, we should be ready to face potential problems from the rains that can be seen.”
