    A list of the highest Ts ever observed in the Evrotas Valley
  2. Athens Heat
    Summer8906 Yeah big diurnal fluctuation mostly due to the valley effect. PIeria is completely different when compared with the geography of a valley or an inland location. The area seems very strong in maxes due to being far from the sea and blocked completely by Taygetos and Parnon mountains. Essentially no sea breeze can reach there. Sparta which is the closest station to Evrotas has also a big diurnal range again due to being inland and at the valley.

    Following up from a previous post where I hypothesized that areas further inland and North of Sparta would have higher summer average maxes..... Well it appears that the National Observatory of Athens has been running a secondary Hydrometeorological station in the depths of the Evrotas Valley around 10 km North of Sparta the past 4 years. The station is placed on the ground on the bank of the Evrotas River for hydrological research purposes. Below some pics of the Evrotas station and its position relative to Sparta WMO met station. And below is how Evrotas NOA station looks the past 4 years. Notice the particularly pronounced summer average highs. Especially that July 40.5C average max. Again we are talking about only 4 years of data and it is a secondary station so some caution is warranted. In any case it does seem to favour our hypothesis that the depths of the Evrotas Valley might just beat Cordoba at a European level when it comes to summer highs. Both Taygetos and Parnon mountains provide a constant foehn effect during the summer and this is particularly obvious from the Sparta WMO station data alone. Judging by average highs and lows the location seems pretty continental for South Europe standards. What's your take?
  4. Athens Heat
    Greece's recent highest summer mean max Ts. Only WMO stations with at least 10 years of data.
  5. Athens Heat
    Below some of Greece's climatological extremes updated through October 2023

    A noteworthy average max of 27.0C in Crete so far in November https://web.archive.org/web/20231117140715/https://penteli.meteo.gr/stations/chaniacenter/NOAAYR.TXT I seriously doubt we ever had an area in Europe so far inside November to register an average max of 27C. It's a first for Greece. Ts will cool down a bit the next few days all over Greece but we might still beat the 24C record avg high of 2019.
  7. Athens Heat
    Below Greece's highest monthly averages T's from the WMO network of the National Observatory of Athens. Lindos and Kastelorizo dominate in summer and winter means and lows while Sparta dominates in summer maxes. Most mean and average lows are European records.

    Crete has registered a stunning 35.1C earlier today at Sisi WMO station from NOA. This is a new European T record for November https://penteli.meteo.gr/stations/sisi/

    Some other notable Ts yesterday apart from the 46.4C in Gytheio NOA 45.9 Amfissa NOA 45.9 Kranidi NOA 45.7 Pyrgela HNMS 45.4 Nea Filadelfeia HNMS 45.4 Kato Tithorea HNMS 45.4 Krokees NOA 45.4 Ag. Theodoroi NOA 45.3 Stylida NOA 45.1 Kalamata NOA 45.0 West Kalamata NOA 45.0 OAKA HNMS
  12. Athens Heat
    46.4C today in Gytheio WMO station Europe's record for 2023 so far
  13. Athens Heat
    For Greece below a list of all the WMO stations where you can check weather conditions live. The next 10 days will be particularly hot https://www.meteo.gr/observationsFull.cfm (NOA) http://www.emy.gr/emy/en/observation/sa_paratiriseis_stathmon?perifereia=Attiki (HNMS) A total of over 500 stations

    Its the first time in many years that Elefsina is forecasted to reach 48C on Sunday according to ECMWF model ... https://web.archive.org/web/20230716125453/https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/2-443800/Greece/Attica/Attica/Limáni Elefsínas I remind everyone that Elefsina is the current WMO Europe record holder

    Confirmation that recently almost all of the National Observatory of Athens stations have received a WMO id https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/#/search/station/stationReportDetails/0-300-1-athens https://community.wmo.int/en/activity-areas/WIGOS/implementation-WIGOS/WIGOS-station-identifier To find details for each station click on the map at the right.

    Yeah like that's how I slept last night. There is nothing else you can do in Athens. In the big 1987 heatwave we had more than 1000 people dead in Athens when ACs were not very common. The next year ACs were everywhere. In 1988 a second heatwave of same intensity hit Athens but we had practically zero victims... ACs can be life saving when u deal with brutal heat.
  22. Athens Heat
    I mean you still have the nights. But even these are dreadful in Athens with Ts barely dropping below 30C early in the morning during heatwaves.
  23. Athens Heat
    Lindos is an oven during the summer. The good thing with Lindos is that EVERYWHERE you go there are ACs. This makes it bearable Ts soared to 40.5C yesterday in Kranidi NOA met station
  24. Athens Heat
    Please everyone visiting Greece the next few days be very very careful.
  25. Athens Heat
    47C forecasted for Elefsina from ECMWF I remind you that Elefsina in West Athens is the current official European record holder from the WMO with 48C in 1977... https://wmo.asu.edu/content/europe-highest-temperature
