| The Climate of Greece
|
|
|
|
| The climate in Greece is typical of the Mediterranean
climate: mild and rainy winters, relatively warm and dry summers and,
generally, extended periods of sunshine throughout most of the year. A great
variety of climate subtypes, always within the Mediterranean climate frame, are
encountered in several regions of Greece. This is due to the influence of
topography (great mountain chains along the central part and other mountainous
bodies) on the air masses coming from the moisture sources of the central
Mediterranean Sea.

| How to read a forecast map |
|
|
|
| Drawing the isobaric contours (curves that connect places with the
same atmospheric pressure) the meteorologist defines the low (L) and high (H)
barometric systems, as well as areas of smooth barometric field. Then they look
for the position of fronts and examines the areas that would be affected by the
fronts and low barometric systems.
