Climate in Greece

The climate in Greece varies; in the north, it can be very cold in the winter with heavy snowfalls and hot humid summers. To the south of mainland Greece and on the islands, the weather is more stable with warm summers and milder winters. The temperature in July and August can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, also in the summer months many of the islands and the mainland experience the summer winds known as the “meltemi”, these winds reduce the humidity, but can cause disruptions with the ferry timetables.
