Strong winds, extreme wildfire risk forecast across Greece Saturday

Greece is facing strong northerly winds and an extreme wildfire risk on Saturday, with wind speeds reaching 8 to 9 on the Beaufort scale in parts of the Aegean Sea. Temperatures are expected to range between 34 and 38 degrees Celsius across various regions, including Athens, which will reach 34 degrees. The weather conditions will be mostly sunny, though thunderstorms are possible in northern and central Greece during the afternoon. Crete and the Dodecanese islands are under an extreme wildfire risk, while areas such as Attica, Evia, parts of the Peloponnese, and the Aegean region face an elevated risk. These strong winds may complicate firefighting efforts. By Sunday, wind speeds are anticipated to decrease, although temperatures will remain high, albeit below heatwave levels.
