Share on:

According to the FLAME team, the very high fire risk will persist until Wednesday, August 13, 2025, due to Hot-Dry-Windy conditions.

North winds of 5-6 Beaufort, locally 7 Beaufort, will prevail over the Aegean Sea and the eastern and southern mainland. At the same time, a rise in temperature and gradual atmospheric drought are expected, increasing the flammability of forest fuels.

The FLAME team estimates that there will be high difficulty in controlling fires in the mainland, and very high to extreme difficulty in controlling fires in the eastern and southern mainland.
