The 2022 fire season is on, let us contribute to it being a quiet one.

[FLAME - Fire Meteorology Group @FLAME_NOA]

A message from our team for the 2022 fire season.

[Theodore M. Giannaros @tm_giannaros]

For our fellows in 🇬🇷, we're happy to announce our 🔥 weather warnings, briefings, and analyses, as well as educational & research material will be available, as of today, at https://t.co/zPi3AX8vI4.
👉 Giving fire weather the attention it deserves.

[Theodore M. Giannaros @tm_giannaros]

As of today, 🇬🇷 is experiencing 🔥 weather conditions that are most commonly found in the 3rd 10-day period of July, along with a 🔺 140% increase of the cumulative burned area compared to the long-term (2006-2023) average.

⚠️Potentially dangerous 🔥 fire weather expected in several parts of 🇬🇷 over the coming weekend (Saturday - Sunday, 29 - 30.06.2024), mainly due to near-gale and gale-force northerly 💨.
‼️For this period of the year, such fire weather conditions are considered super extreme.

[Theodore M. Giannaros @tm_giannaros]

‼️Another severe fire weather episode is about to influence 🇬🇷 ,28-30.06.
⚠️Less Hot (🌡️), Less Dry (🌵), much more windier (💨) compared to previous severe Hot-Dry-Windy episode.
🔥🚫Do not use fire for any reason.

Extreme #fire behavior seen in one of several 🔥 #wildfires affecting #Cyprus since the start of 2024 fire season.
🤔What do you believe is needed to deal with such extreme wildlife events?

@FireLab_UTAD @eu_echo Thanks Paulo! Haven't read the second one (OECD) to know if they're different.

[Theodore M. Giannaros @tm_giannaros]

Plenty of food for thought in @eu_echo Wildfire Peer Review Report for 🇬🇷. Progress is recognized, yet a lot more need to be done in an effort to establish integrated wildfire management in the country.

⚠️Severe fire weather warning is in place today for Greece. Conditions are extremely conducive to 🔥 fast-spreading, intense wind-driven wildfires. 🏜️High landscape flammability, 💨near-gale and gale force northerly winds, 🔥 persistent adverse fire weather conditions.

[Theodore M. Giannaros @tm_giannaros]

⚠️🔥Hot-dry-windy weather increases fire danger in Greece 🇬🇷over the next days. Maps show the maximum HDW index and the sum of hours with persistent high HDW index values, from 19.06 to 21.06.2024
‼️Rather unusual fire weather conditions for this period of the year in Greece.

📢 Αύριο, Παρασκευή 26 Απριλίου 2024, θα μιλήσουμε για τη σχέση του καιρού με τη φωτιά και πώς αυτή έχει αλλάξει και συνεχίζει να αλλάζει εξαιτίας της κλιματικής αλλαγής, στα πλαίσια εκδήλωσης που συνδιοργανώνουν ο Δήμος Καλαμάτας, η Πυροσβεστική Υπηρεσία και το Δασαρχείο.
