DescriptionSaharan Dust, wildfires and extreme heat- Copernicus monitors extreme conditions in the Mediterranean basin.jpg
English: A record-breaking heatwave is currently affecting Italy, Spain, and Greece, with temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels. Additionally, the western Mediterranean basin is set to be affected by high concentrations of Saharan dust, further exacerbating the extreme conditions. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides detailed dust forecasts for the region, helping to monitor and understand the distribution and impact of these dust concentrations. This visual, based on CAMS data, shows a high concentration of dust forecasted for 19 July, at 16 UTC. In Greece, the situation is compounded by ongoing wildfires, which have devastated areas near Athens and in Eastern Peloponnese, forcing residents to evacuate. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service is monitoring the consequences of the wildfires. More details are available here.
