About Athens Weather
Athens occupies the Attica Basin ringed by mountains — Hymettus to the east, Penteli to the northeast, Parnitha to the north, and Aigaleo to the west — creating a natural bowl that traps pollution and amplifies heat. The Saronic Gulf to the south channels afternoon sea breezes (the meltemi) that provide crucial cooling from May through September. Athens has one of Europe's most severe urban heat island problems, with city center temperatures regularly 10°F above the surrounding countryside in summer. Winters are mild and rainy (45–60°F), summers hot and dry (85–100°F).
