Summary edit

Description
English: One of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite images captured on 16 July 2023 reveals a clear view of Greece without clouds, illustrating the ongoing exceptional heatwave in southern Europe. In response to the extreme temperatures, local authorities in Athens have implemented measures to protect public safety, including restricting access to the Acropolis monument during the hottest hours of the day between 14 and 16 July. The African anticyclone will strengthen over Mediterranean latitudes, encompassing Italy as well, resulting in an exceptional heatwave with maximum air temperatures that will surpass average levels by more than 10 °C and potentially break some absolute temperature records. The Copernicus Climate Change Service provides essential data and insights to understand the impact of ongoing heatwaves worldwide.
