Prolonged heat is expected in the country on the second day of July 10, according to the director of the National Meteorological Service (SMN), Thodoris Kolidas.
As you state in your post, although particularly extreme values are not predicted, the temperature will be maintained at levels around 6 degrees above normal for the season.
Only the eastern areas affected by the meltemi, the Cyclades and northern Crete, will get a breath of fresh air.
The heat is more noticeable than on Friday
According to Kolydas, on Friday the heat will be more noticeable as the meltemi weakens in many eastern regions and is limited to the Eastern Aegean, the Eastern Cyclades, Crete and the Dodecanese.
