The strong northerly winds are going to significantly subside on Wednesday, the meteo service of Athens National Observatory said, according to ANA.
Nevertheless, in the northern Ionian Sea, in central Macedonia, in the northwestern Aegean Sea, in eastern Thessaly, the islands of Sporades and in northern Evia are going to prevail strong northwesterly winds and northeasterly winds up to 6 on the Beaufort scale will blow on Wednesday evening.
At the same time, the risk of fire in many parts of the country will remain very high, particularly in southern Evia, in the region of Attica, the islands of eastern Aegean, in Rhodes and in southern Crete.
Furthermore, the firefighting forces struggled throughout the night to save the four villages that were threatened by the major wildfire on Evia. The fire has burnt a huge part of a pine forest.
European Commissioner for Crisis Management Christos Stylianides who arrived in Athens to express EU’s support has met with Civil Protection Minister to brief him on the European assistance that will be sent to Greece in the context of the rescEU mechanism.
