...or else, the first heatwave day for Athens this summer. Temperatures
may have not had the chance to climb higher than +35.2C in my parts of the
city, but downtown it was a different story as the air was feeling simply
too hot, especially in well sunlit narrow streets. Nea Filadelfia, just NW
of the city centre, made it to +38C while suburbs by the sea never
exceeded +32C. Several stations in Thessaly crossed the +37C threshold,
too.

Drama, in eastern Macedonia, reported a drop in temperature by 17
Centigrades when calm, hot conditions gave place to a thunderstorm that
had just crossed the bulgarian border. Thunderstorms were reported later
throughout much of central and eastern Macedonia (they are now situated
over the northern Aegean), as well as in Volos (eastern Thessaly) and the
Peloponnesian highlands. Temperature maxima for today to be viewed he

Thanks Yannis for your regular postings on the weatherconditions in your -
lovely! Greek - area. Forgive me (or *us*, if i can have this liberty to
add) that we're only responding when a visit to Greece is near; BUT is this
heatwave-in-potention still going on next Thursday and the weekend after?
Too not narrow streets downtown ( - lots of water added to the frappe's
then!

We'll meet soon!
