List of extreme high temperatures in Greece information
The following is a list of the most extreme temperatures ever recorded in Greece.
Greece holds the record for the highest maximum temperature recorded in the Balkans, with 48.0 °C in Elefsina and Tatoi (both located in the Athens metropolitan area). Although readings were deemed to be correct, a wildfire had been raging in nearby Mt. Parnitha. The highest record for continental Europe is held by Sicily, Italy, with 48.8 °C.[1]
In June 2007, Monemvasia in mainland Greece recorded a minimum temperature of 35.9 °C.[2][3][4]
According to the national press of the time, on the 10th of July 1977 the Hellenic National Meteorological Service station in Almyros recorded 49.0 °C and the stations in Volos, Velestino and Messara[vague] registered 48.0 °C
[5][6][7][8]. However, there is no record of the alleged 49.0 °C recording at the Almyros station, nor did the Hellenic National Meteorological Service report these latter temperatures formally through any official channels.
On the night between 25 and 26 of June 2007 the temperature did not drop below 38.0 °C in the Palaiochora National Observatory of Athens station. [9] On the night of the 11th of January 2021 the National Observatory of Athens station in Falasarna recorded a stunning temperature of 28.3 °C due to strong Föhn winds while the minimum temperature for that day was 22.6 °C marking both the highest January temperature during a night and the highest January minimum temperature ever recorded in Greece.[10][11][12]
