The absolute champion of European heat: Lindos, Greece

[Athens Heat]

Here you go guys!

Lindos in Rhodes is the warmest area of geographical Europe by far

With an average annual temperature of almost 22.0°C according to the official climate database of the National Observatory of Athens (https://www.meteo.gr/climate/), Lindos beats any area in geographical Europe! In fact it beats areas outside of Europe which are way south of Lindos. A few examples: It is is even warmer annually than the Canary islands, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Brasilia, areas in N and S Okinawa, Heyuan (located in the Tropic of Cancer) and areas of metropolitan Taipei!

It even ties Daytona Beach in Florida!

In August 2021 it broke the all time European record for the warmest month in European history!

This is due to the constant hot foehn winds the leeward side of Rhodes experiences year round!

Updated climate data for Lindos until Feb 2023.

Next month it will enter its 10th year of operation with freely available data and the fact it persists to around 22C average annual temperature is significant for European standards.
