Assessing the recent heat wave - Part 3

Source: Meteo
In addition to the record high temperatures and their effect on the temperatures of the Greek seas, the very high temperatures and dry atmospheric conditions that affected our country during the recent heat wave also created an environment extremely favorable for the occurrence of large forest fires. It is typical that during the period from July 15 to 31, 7 large forest fires occurred in our country (Corfu, Aigio, Dervenochoria, Attiki/Kouvaras, Karystos, Nea Aghialos, Rhodes) which burned a total area approaching 470,000 acres , while since the beginning of the year, a total of approximately 550,000 acres have burned in our country,
The approximately 550,000 acres of burned land since the beginning of 2023 is already 30% more than the total land burned on average in our country (~435,000 acres) per year. It is also noteworthy that the number of forest fires that occurred and were mapped in our country until 30.07.2023 does not show any significant increase.
As noted at the beginning, a significant contribution to the intensity and extent of the forest fires in July in our country was played by the fire-meteorological conditions formed due to the recent heat wave. The next set of maps shows the estimated ease of ignition and speed of spread for the periods 01 - 11.07.2023 (before the heat wave), 12 - 23.07.2023 (during the heat wave) and 24 - 26.07.2023 (end of heat wave heatwave). What is very characteristically recorded is the significant increase in flammability (ease of ignition) and speed of spread in almost the entire country due to the very high temperatures and dry atmospheric conditions of the recent heat wave. Regarding the 7 major forest fires of July 2023, it is easy to see that during their occurrence and the main phase of their spread, the respective affected counties were at high and/or very high estimated ignition ease and speed of spread . This observation underscores the imperative of monitoring pyrometeorological conditions.
