⚠️Potentially dangerous 🔥 fire weather expected in several parts of 🇬🇷 over the coming weekend (Saturday - Sunday, 29 - 30.06.2024), mainly due to near-gale and gale-force northerly 💨.
‼️For this period of the year, such fire weather conditions are considered super extreme.
‼️Another severe fire weather episode is about to influence 🇬🇷 ,28-30.06.

Extreme #fire behavior seen in one of several 🔥 #wildfires affecting #Cyprus since the start of 2024 fire season.

⚠️Severe fire weather warning is in place today for Greece. Conditions are extremely conducive to 🔥 fast-spreading, intense wind-driven wildfires. 🏜️High landscape flammability, 💨near-gale and gale force northerly winds, 🔥 persistent adverse fire weather conditions.
Plenty of food for thought in @eu_echo Wildfire Peer Review Report for 🇬🇷. Progress is recognized, yet a lot more need to be done in an effort to establish integrated wildfire management in the country.
