🌡 The weather here, in general

Athens has four clear seasons. July highs average 90°F and January lows average 36°F.

Expect around 43 days a year at 90°F or above, concentrated in July. Heat illness climbs sharply on consecutive hot days, so the third day of a streak is more dangerous than the first.

Snow is rare, but 28 nights a year drop to freezing. Burst pipes and black ice are the practical concerns, not shovelling.

Rainfall averages about 53 inches a year, wettest in December and driest in October.
