Greece is anticipating a rise in temperatures, particularly this weekend, with forecasts predicting highs around 39 degrees Celsius in various regions. Meteorologists, including Yiannis Kallianos, indicate that a "mini heatwave" is on the horizon, potentially pushing temperatures close to 40 degrees in certain areas by Sunday, July 12. The weather is expected to remain generally sunny with some increased cloudiness in the afternoons, particularly in mountainous regions, where local showers may occur.

The rise in temperatures coincides with the strengthening of the prevailing northern winds, known as "meltemi," which are expected to provide some relief from the heat in coastal areas. The warm weather is projected to last for several days, but reports suggest that Greece will avoid extreme heat conditions, commonly associated with prolonged heatwaves, at least until late July. Local forecasts emphasize that the upcoming conditions are typical for the season, with occasional fluctuations in temperature but no sustained periods of extreme heat just yet.
