A searing heat wave sweeping in from Western Europe has gripped Greece, prompting emergency measures as temperatures soar across the country.
Greece is enduring another intense heat wave, with temperatures climbing as high as 42°C (107.6°F), particularly on the eastern mainland. The national meteorological services reported that on Monday, temperatures ranged from 38°C to 40°C (100.4°F–104°F) across much of the mainland, with eastern regions slightly hotter.
By Tuesday, the heat was expected to peak, with thermometres hitting 42°C in eastern areas. While western regions may experience some relief midweek, with a slight temperature drop, the eastern parts will remain under the grip of extreme heat.
Authorities anticipate some respite from Thursday, with temperatures forecast to fall by 7–8°C nationwide.
In response to the dangerous conditions, the Labour Ministry has implemented protective measures. A mandatory work stoppage for outdoor manual labourers and food delivery services is in effect from midday to 5 p.m. (0900–1400 GMT) during the heatwave period. These precautions aim to safeguard workers most vulnerable to the extreme temperatures.
