“North vs. South – Temperature Contrasts

We have repeatedly seen similar differences or large differences of 16°C between northwestern Greece and southern island regions, especially in cases of strong downslope southerly winds. Of course, we are not referring to something “unprecedented”, for example, today's 28 °C in Heraklion and 11 to 12 °C in the northwest.

The press says we may catch more highs (30s) on Tuesday, but not much. These values ​​will be mainly confined to Crete or locally reinforced downwinds of the phone type will again play an important role. #Foehn_Winds
