Default Greek amateur stations online

Excellent site, I've bookmarked that :-)

Good evening from cloudy Athens.

Members of 'Hellasweather', the greek weather enthusiasts yahoogroup, have
issued a webpage where their weather stations' logs present their data,
after they've automatically been translated in METARs. By visiting
http://www.meteorologia.gr and clicking on 'METARS', one can have a look
on the current weather conditions at 8 stations in Athens, 3 in
Thessaloniki and 2 in the Aegean isles (namely, Paros and Tinos). The next
stage of this effort is to visualise some of the current conditions and
publish them on a map (GIF) that will be readily available both on
personal webpages and on the webpage of the National Observatory of
Athens.

http://www.meteothes.gr/greece/ includes more known amateur weather
stations run in Greece

http://users.ntua.gr/jorgalan/Attika-online.html includes all online
weather stations run in Greater Athens

http://www.meteothes.gr/index.html includes all online weather stations
run in Greater Thessaloniki

We hope to include more stations as time goes by and produce readily
available, instantly informative images in the future.

Cloudy in Athens as a low is covering most of the Ionian sea and is slowly
moving northeastwards. Rainfalls and thunderstorms are already reported in
the west, north and northwest of the country, while katabatic winds have
pushed temperatures up to +31C in northern Crete (Irakleion).

All the best,

Yannis, SE Athens
+22.4C, RH 36%, SLP 1003.9 hPa and dropping
