After the purple jellyfish on the Greek coasts, the Hellenic Biodiversity Observatory, summarizes that for a month we will have -as every year- a population outbreak of the blue jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo.
After purple jellyfish that flooded Greek coasts of our country make their appearance as it seems gradually now and the blue jellyfish.
According to the Hellenic Biodiversity Observatory, for a month we will have -as every year- a population outbreak of the blue jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo.
We see these population outbreaks from mid-June to mid-July in the deepest – away from the beaches, except for the days when the winds and sea currents bring them to our shores.
Rhizostoma pulmo, as their scientific name implies, are large in size.
They can be up to 90 cm in diameter of the bell and we see them either in white or in blue, while they always have a purple stripe around the end of their bell.
Every Sunday, the Hellenic Biodiversity Observatory publishes JellyReport with useful information on jellyfish occurrences for the month we are in, for weather conditions such as winds coming next week and other information regarding jellyfish in general.
Based on the forecast for the winds this week, both the purple and the blue jellyfish will probably not threaten the coasts of Attica, thus giving a small opportunity to clear the Saronic Gulf to some extent.
However, it always depends on where the sea currents of the area will move them and whether they will bring them back again, before they have time to leave to the open.
