Climate - Weather
Greece has a Mediterranean climate with plenty of
sunshine, mild
temperatures and a limited amount of rainfall. Due to
the country's
geographical position, its rugged relief and its
distribution between
the mainland and the sea, there is great variation in
Greece's climate.
In summer, the dry hot days are cooled by seasonal winds
called the
meltemi, while mountainous regions have generally lower
temperatures.
The winters are mild in lowland areas, with a minimum
amount of snow and
ice, yet, mountains are usually snow-covered. Moreover,
a common
phenomenon is the occurrence of different climactic
conditions during
the same season (for instance, mild heat in coastal
areas and cool
temperatures in mountainous regions).
