The first day on which the air was warmer than me
 

....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

All the best for now,

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!
Wijke from a sunny, 3/8 cumuli, typical dutch-summery Centre of the
Netherlands. Comfortable 22°C

Temperature maxima should remain close to 36C while you'll be in Athens,
but ever-breezy Andros should be cooler (maxima around 30C).

Yesterday's thunderstorms visited western Attica, too, but not until
late at night. The spectacle in the western horizon from downtown Athens
can be viewed he

prepared by George Gournelos, mind your speakers' volume before opening).

Up to +35.9C in my neighbourhood today, +38C recorded in Elefsina,
western Attica.
