but u know for some strange reason and even if I experience almost every year the suffocating Athenian summer,i find it really uncomfortable when London hits
30C during the day,which for Athens is a minimum temperature in a relatively hot day.Maybe its bsc I dont have an A/C in my place in London...who knows

Plus London`s humidity is much higher making it actually feel even hotter, for example 30C with 80% humidity gives an heat index or what it feels like of 37.7C

Exactly,so dont accuse us Londoners for moaning all the time.We are right [hehe]

I felt worse in 2003 in London with a mere 38C compared to the 47.5C i experienced in Athens in 2007:)

Indeed Pit, Soufli was the hottest place in Europe yesterday with 37.8oC and Argostoli may well of had the highest minimum with 26.2C, subject to more scrutiny from all the sources, by me when i get home from work

[Mesogeiakos]

Close to 40C in Sivas in the interior of Crete from NOA earlier today,however from my research Sivas station does not currently have a WMO id.None the less neighbouring areas are around 38C as well

[Mesogeiakos]

The 2nd of September in Greece was again hot,maximum Sofades from HNMS with 37.7 and I think Sivas in the interior of Crete from NOA registered around 39.5C or something....Hot in Attica as well with 36.3 in Filadelfeia,Athens.

[Mesogeiakos]

Hot in Greece today 36C in various areas such as Filadelfeia,The Acropolis (NSC),Kato Tithorea,Leonidio and Ormenio currently, 37C in Polykastro

[Mesogeiakos]

The Davis station of Aspropyrgos next to Elefsina in the Thriasion Plain of Attica has just registered 37.1C

[Mesogeiakos]

Sivas in the interior of Crete has also managed over 37C.Ian any idea on the exact temp of Sivas?

I make it 38.2C Pit though its dropped to 32.5C now.

[Mesogeiakos]

This is how Attica looked yesterday from HNMS. A drop in the minimums though

[Ian Williams]

This is the 3rd day in a row where i have seen Gale warnings for Greece, the forecasts look more at home with the UK for October

http://hnms.gr/hnms/...rning/gale_html

[Mesogeiakos]

Indeed heavy rain across many parts of Greece and significant storms especially in the Ionian sea the past few days

[Ian Williams]

More bad weather for Greece yesterday with gales and heavy rain. Athens temps ranging from 13.6C to 18.2C. Kymi in Eastern Sterea Hellas and Euboea region had 125.0 mm of rain making it the wettest place in Europe. Mediterranean Turkey in the SW region of Antalya really badly hit there also with loss of life and severe floods and infrastructure damage to bridges etc. Glad i`m not a holidaymaker in either of these countries at the moment!

[Ian Williams]

Yet more bad weather in Greece again for the last 3 days, Andravida had 97mm of rain on 14th anoither 110 mm yesterday, and nearby Kyllini had 149 mm yesterday (15th)

Below are todays (16th) max temps for Greece and some of its Agean Islands, brrrr
