Default Greek temperature maxima on Friday

I see more official stations online having reported temperature maxima
over 38C: Eleusis made it to +39C
(http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/LGEL.html) and some of the NTUA
stations did equally "well"
(http://meteonet.chi.civil.ntua.gr/en/divs.html): Acharnes (+38.5C),
Zografou (+38.5C), Ano Liosia (+38.6C), Agios Kosmas (+39.2C), Psytalleia
(+38.5C), Ilioupoli (+39.1C). The suburbs to the northeast and wind prone
areas outside the basin (ie Athens International Airport), but still
within the prefecture of Attica, never made it over +34C.


These temperature maxima were for Saturday. Here are some more sites from
the HNMS network:

Agrinio, W. Greece: +40.5C
Piraeus, Athens: +39.4C
Ellniko, Athens: +39.2C
Araxos, Peloponnese: +39.0C
Konitsa, Epirus: +38.8C
Arta, Epirus: +38.4C
Serres: +38.4C

Much closer to 30C in the Aegean.

Yannis, SE Athens
+29.6C, RH 28%, SLP 1015.2 hPa
