Increased fire risk in northern, eastern and southern Greece until Tuesday
Important worsening must present the pyrotheological conditions in our country during the three days from Sunday to Tuesdaybased on the latest available forecast data analyzed by the FLAME pyrometeorological team of the National Observatory of Athens (EAA) / meteo.gr.
The cause of this significant deterioration is strengthening of northerly winds (above 5 Beaufort) combined with consolidation very hot and dry conditions, which will significantly increase the flammability of dead forest fuels. Overall, the fire-meteorological conditions during the period 7-9 August to be characterized by the particularly dangerous for forest fires type of weather “Hot + Dry + Windy» (hot, dry and windy).
In particular, today Sunday, August 7:
– Very high potential for wind-driven forest fires with potential heat loads in Kavala (including Thassos), Xanthi, Rhodope, Evros, Samothraki, Lemnos, Lesvos, Chios and more locally in Serres and Drama.
– High potential for wind-driven forest fires with potential heat loads in Attica, Boeotia, N. and N. Evia, Corinth, Argolis and more locally in N. Fthiotida.
– High potential for guided by the forest fires that exist in S. Crete and the northernmost islands of the Cyclades.
– Locally moderate/high potential for column-driven (pyro-inductive) forest fires in Ilia, Achaia and Etoloakarnania.
Her Monday, August 8:
– Much higher potential for wind-driven forest fires with potential heat loads in general in Kavala (including Thassos), Xanthi, Rhodope, Evros, Samothraki, Lemnos, Phokides and southern Halkidiki.
– Much higher potential for wind-driven forest fires with potential heat loads in Attica, Boeotia, N and S Evia, Corinth, Argolis, Laconia, and more locally in Phthiotida, Achaia, N Evia, N. Lesvos and Chios .
– Locally higher potentials for driven by forest fires circulating in Thessaloniki, Pella, Serres, Drama, Kilkis and Lefkada.
– Locally moderate/high potential for column-driven (pyro-inductive) forest fires in Ilia, Achaia and Etoloakarnania.
Her Tuesday, August 9:
– Much higher potential for wind-driven wildfires with potential heat loads in Kavala (including Thassos), Xanthi, Rhodopi, Evros, Attica, Boeotia, N and N Evia, Corinthia and Argolis, and more locally in Laconia , Arcadia, Achaia, Fthiotida and N. Evia.
– Locally higher potentials for forest-driven fires with potential heat loads in Thessaloniki, Halkidiki (Kassandra), Pella, Serres, Drama, and W. Crete.
– Locally moderate/high potential for column-driven (pyro-inductive) forest fires in Ilia, Achaia and Etoloakarnania.
In the above geographic zones, special attention should be paid to areas where northerly winds will “align” with the area and forest fuel (eg, when the wind blows perpendicular to the slope of a densely vegetated mountain mass), maximizing the potential . manifestation of extreme fire behavior.
In addition, according to Teo, in the above geographic zones the estimated moisture content of dead forest fuels will not exceed 10-12% in the midday/afternoon hours, which will facilitate the ignition, maintenance and transmission of the fire. at similar levels (12-14%) and during the night, limiting the nocturnal “control window” of the fire.
