In the wake of the fiery “blaze” that swept through Attica and left behind more than 100,000 burnt acres, fears of another similar phenomenon remain, with meteorologists warning of a further increase in temperature.
In his post, Sakis Arnautoglou presented the data on the temperatures that are expected to reach maximum levels until August 21.
According to the meteorologist, in the southern mainland, such as in Attica and Crete, the mercury is expected to reach 39-40 degrees Celsius, while in the more mountainous and coastal island areas, the mercury will reach 33-34 degrees Celsius.
