Clearchos Marousakis, Yiannis Kallianos and Vandi After the bad weather that hit many parts of the country today, the heat wave comes with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, making it close to the first heat wave of the year.
Speaking in the morning at OPEN, Klearchos Marousakis predicted that temperatures will rise across the country from Monday. In particular, he stressed, “From Monday we will have some rain, and from Wednesday we will go into a strong heat wave, where we will face temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius.”
Meteorologist Yiannis Kallianos spoke at MEGA yesterday about the impending rise in temperatures on the brink of a heat wave.
“Let me give you one last piece of information. Maybe, we are definitely going too far, you know, I never estimate that far, maybe, after May 15, the first strong heat wave will worry us. But it’s not “locked” yet so we’ll see in the next few days. In the central-southern parts of the country, I estimate that temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius may also be seen.
But I repeat, we are still a long way off, there is a dichotomy between the models, but the models seem to be moving towards this situation. That means after May 15-16, roughly and symbolically, there should always be a strong heat wave for the season,” said Mega’s meteorologist.
