Maximum temperatures above 40 degrees are expected in Greece, Cyprus and western Turkey this weekend. Faced with this heat, the Greek Ministry of Culture has ordered managers of archaeological sites such as the Acropolis to temporarily close popular tourist attractions for several hours.
Many communities in Greece and Cyprus keep air-conditioned halls open for people to seek shelter there. Workers have been urged to keep their distance and employers have been asked to allow flexible working hours to avoid the midday heat.
Particular attention should be paid to the elderly, the sick and young children. In addition, pets and stray animals should not be forgotten and provided with sufficient water. The thermometer in Athens is expected to rise to 41 degrees on Friday.
Increased risk of fire
Due to the continuing heat wave and the associated drought, there is an increased risk of large-scale fires in many parts of the country from Monday.
