On July 22, 2026, a "red alert" for extreme fire risk will be issued for five areas in Greece, including Attica, as indicated by the fire hazard forecast map from the General Secretariat for Civil Protection. This alert is a response to heightened meteorological conditions that significantly increase the potential for wildfires in these regions.

As of July 21, 2026, several areas, including Attica, Evia, and other regions, were already under a "yellow alert," indicating increased vigilance for possible fire outbreaks. Authorities are conducting assessments of the risk and preparing for potential emergency responses, given the dry weather and rising temperatures expected in the coming days.

The government and civil protection agencies are urging residents and visitors in affected areas to remain cautious and prepared for emergency measures.
