It’s no secret the weather has been super hot in Greece this year, and it’s causing tourists to worry.

Just last week it was revealed the popular holiday spot will be hit with a severe heat bomb as temperature levels soar as high as 46C. Experts also predict all “records will be broken” this year due to the climbing temperatures.

Weather maps from WXCharts turned dark red a few days ago, indicating the possibility of extreme heat conditions in parts of Greece. They revealed the mercury levels will climb to 46C in areas around Larissa in Greece, and other areas will also see temperatures hovering between 40-41C.

With people already having been evacuated from hotels earlier this year due to wildfires, the weather conditions are causing some people to worry as they prepare to head on their travels.

Due to the weather forecast, one man took to Reddit to ask for some advice on how to deal with the heat, and it looks as though people won’t be spending too much time outdoors when they visit.

In the post, the social media user wrote: “Hi, I already booked a holiday in Athena a year ago. Daily I’m watching the weather and it’s months constant above 35C.

“How do you (tourists) survive this continuous heat? Rent a car with AC and drive around whole day? We are travelling with 10 people from age 6 to 70.

“Yeah, let’s try to plan early trips and stay in airconditioned cars while traveling to distance destinations. Lots of sunblock, water and (beach) umbrella for walking.”

The general advice seemed to be to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day, which means people are best going out and about during the evenings and mornings.

Though you may want to explore the area where you’re staying, it may simply be too hot to do this in the middle of the day.

One person replied: “I am just back from there. We had a quick breakfast at 7am and then went on exploring till 12h get lunch.

“Afterward either go back to room to chill a bit and than head out to a museum with AC. You don’t want to be in the sun from 12 to 16h.”

Another said: “Went there from Bucharest where the temperature was a constant 40°C, it was delightful.” A third replied: “Just left Athens a few days ago and the 38C was killing me. I am usually pretty good in the heat and prefer it over cold, but this was next level!

“When we weren’t at the beach we spent a bit of time in the airbnb since it was airconditioned! Booked the acropolis as early as possible because by 12pm they closed it due to the heat!”

Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: “Athens is a concrete jungle. It might officially be 40 but on the sidewalks it’s more like 43. If you have a car and don’t throw a towel over the steering wheel you will burn your hands.

“The A/C in car will be of minimal value when the sun is pouring into the windows. Anything you do of a walking/driving nature should be done by 1pm if not sooner.

“Then go inside, or maybe to the beach if you have umbrellas. I wouldn’t not have dinner before 10pm. You will just roast.”

Speaking about the predicted “heat bomb”, Jim Dale, a meterologist with British Weather Services previously told Express.co.uk: “I think it will happen well before the end of July and will continue into August.

“‘Furnace temperatures’, not just for Greece but also Cyprus, Turkey, southern & central Spain and North Africa generally. Records will be broken. Heat-related deaths are inevitable, along with wildfires.”

The grim warning comes as Greek authorities had to act fast to deal with heat-related incidents. Several alerts and official advice have been issued to those who are jetting off to the popular destination during the summer season.
