GREEK CLIMATE


Greece is located in Europe, next to Italy, on the Mediterranean Sea. All of Greece has pretty much the same weather, it hardly changes. Snow can fall anywhere in Greece, but it is very rare, especially for the islands. Greece's climate is called Mediterranean or subtropical. The summers are long, hot, and dry and it usually stays that way with no rain fall for three to four months. Winters are short, and mildly wet, it is also the wettest during this season. Spring and autumn are the shortest seasons because it either rains or it's hot. If it does happen to rain in the summer, it rains in the morning and is hot and dry in the afternoon, just enough time to go to the beach.

Greece: A country full of mountains.

Greece has a lot of mountains with ranges extending into the sea as peninsulas or chains of islands. It snows heavily in the mountains in the winter time. The land in Greece used to be covered with trees until man came through with animals and demolished them and started growing crops.
