[01] Greece in grips of heatwave, temperature hits 42C in Athens
AMNA/ Greece is in the grips of another heatwave this week, with
temperatures expected to climb to 41C-42C on the mainland, according
to the Greek Meteorological Service (EMY).
On Tuesday and Wednesday temperatures will rise to 41-42C on the mainland,
and 38-39C in the Ionian, eastern Aegean and southern Crete, and 37C in
the Cyclades, northern Crete and the Dodecanese.
Temperatures will ease off slightly on Thursday in northern Greece,
but will remain high in the rest of the country.
On Friday temperatures will cool off throughout the entire country.
Tourists in Athens defied the heat to visit the Acropolis and the
capital's other archaeological sites, 'armed' with umbrellas and water
bottles, while the surrounding beaches also offered a cool refuge.
