Greece is preparing for a dramatic weather shift over the next 48 hours, with forecasts predicting heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, hail, and frequent lightning. Several regions are on high alert for severe weather conditions, with specific critical timeframes identified. Following the storms, a high-pressure system, dubbed “Anticyclone Υ,” is expected to bring a significant heatwave. This anticyclone is also raising concerns about increased wildfire risk due to the anticipated dry and hot conditions. Authorities are urging citizens to take necessary precautions during both the stormy period and the subsequent heatwave. The rapid change in weather patterns highlights the volatile nature of the current climate situation in the region.
