Climate in Greece
Greece is located in Europe. The country is washed by five seas, such as the Ionian Sea, the Cretan Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Thracian Sea, the Aegean Sea. Greece is a large resort country and has a long coastline. To determine the temperature of the water in it, we track 247 settlements and resorts.
In most of the country, a subtropical Mediterranean climate prevails. However, due to the wide variety of natural conditions, three large climatic zones and many smaller ones can be distinguished here. Northern Macedonia, northern Epirus, part of Thessaly and the mountainous regions of Pinda lie in a zone of temperate mountain climate, close in its characteristics to the Alpine. Summer is hot and dry (average July temperature is + 28 ° С), and winter is cold (in January the air often stands up to -8 ° С) and wet. Attica, the central and eastern Peloponnese, the Cyclades, Dodecanese and Crete lie in a typical Mediterranean climate. Summer is dry and hot, the temperature in July-August fluctuates around the mark of + 25-28°C, but often rises to + 40-45°C. Strong northerly winds of the Meltemia (Meltemi) slightly reduce the temperature,but they cannot bring precipitation, therefore years are not rare here, when not a drop of rain falls all summer. Winter is mild (January - + 4-12°C) and wet. November - February are the wettest months of the year, but they also often have quite sharp (down to -2-4°C) temperature drops - sometimes even snow falls on the slopes of Pinda, in the mountains of Euboea and Crete. Precipitation in the lowland areas falls from 400-700 mm per year, in the mountains - up to 1500 mm, and the western slopes of Pinda receive almost twice as much rain as the eastern. The northeastern Aegean islands, Halkidiki and the island of Thassos lie in the transition zone - both cold winters and withering-hot summer periods are not uncommon. Even Crete - the largest and southern of the Greek islands - has several climatic regions: the southern coast is always hotter than the northern,and mountainous areas differ markedly in weather conditions from the coast.
