30.2C today's maximum in Greece and was recorded in Livadia according to the National Observatory of Athens

[Mesogeiakos]

Next week we are expecting very high temperatures in Greece.We could see around 35C in some parts...still no damn rain for Athens

[Mesogeiakos]

32.5 was Greece's highest temperature today in Livadia according to the National Observatory of Athens.Need to check what HNMS gives tommorow for different areas of the country

[Mesogeiakos]

Double checked with HNMS. for 11th of May Greece's maximum was 32.5 in Livadia from NOA's station

[BUTTERFLY]

Instead of the Elgin Marbles, could we send Greece some of our rain and cool weather, and Greece could oblige us with heat and sunshine (though will settle for 25 deg. C. instead of 35 deg. C.!)?

33.2C in Leukohori Greece's max from NOA today

[Mesogeiakos]

Let me correct the max for Greece.It was in fact 33.9C in Livadia according to NOA.HNMS provisionally gave a 32 max for Greece in Athens so we are safe to assume 33.9C was the highest for today

[Mesogeiakos]

35.5C Greece's max in Herakleion according to NOA

[Mesogeiakos]

Yesterday's max 34.9 C in Leukohori according to NOA ...Crete is rellentlesly hit by phoen winds...It is 37.2C now as we speak in Chania according to NOA!!!!!!!!

[Mesogeiakos]

38.8 in Crete in Chania!!!Crete is been hit relentlesly by the foen winds in the whole north coasts

[Mesogeiakos]

It has already hit the news in Greece

[Mesogeiakos]

HNMS has given a 38C provisionally for Chania for today..We will see tomorrow

[Mesogeiakos]

Here is the news bulletin of NOA for the heatwave in Crete

http://translate.goo...%2Fnews_All.asp

Nearly 40 degrees in Chania ....: While western and northern Greece is "refreshed" by the rains and storms in northern Crete, southern phoen created the heat.. As an indication of midday Saturday 15/05/2010, the weather station E.A.A. Chania recorded a temperature of 38.8 C.

[Ian Williams]

Both HNMS and Ogimet have given 37.4C for Chania Souda

AT LAST RAIN in Athens !!

The ex airport had 19mm last night,Thisio 6.8mm and Elefsina had the lowest precipitation in Athens with a mere 3mm...it was a stormy night for much of central south Athens!!

In fact Elefsina has a mere 14mm total for the past 101 days...

[Mesogeiakos]

Ierapetra in Greece according to HNMS has recorded yesterday 41.0C which is Europe's highest recorded temperature officially so far in 2010

[Mesogeiakos]

Just to let you know that last week northern Athens was hit by one of the most historic thunderstorms for June. Kifisia recorded an amazing 50mm overnight which is a record for Athens in June and has been the highest precip ever recorded in metropolitan Athens from 1897. The average precip for Athens in June is between 5mm-9mm!

We actually had damages from thunders in buildings and electricity points.It was an amazing night ...a first for Athens during the summer

[Mesogeiakos]

Greece's highs yesterday according to HNMS on pretty much a typical summer day (apart from the cloudy weather)

Leonidio 36.6
Athens 36.2
Agrinio 35.8

Greece has been having a very unstable weather and almost every afternoon we see cloudy weather during the warmest hours of the day and sometimes rain or thunderstorms...this has been going on for some time now and is very strange for Athens

[Mesogeiakos]

An interesting find regarding the minimum summer temperatures for Athens.

I am not really sure if I have mentioned this in the past or not but Pireus which is Athens' port has been giving consistently the highest minimum temperatures in the summer in Greece and probably in Europe!

While checking the data for Pireus from HNMS I made an astonishing discovery...The absolute minimum temperature for Pireus in July and August according to HNMS available data is a remarkable 20.0C for both months!! These were recorded on the 1/7/1969 for July and 16/8/1968 for August...

Eilat in the Red Sea has an absolute minimum for July 20.0C as well and 20.4C for August according to Israeli authorities!This is pretty amazing!!
