Update for July 2023
Although record heat waves were announced in the news, reaching 37°C in Central Europe (even a 37.4°C peak measured at my home in Switzerland on 11/07/2023) and 47°C in Athens or Sicily, it was comparatively pleasant here on the island. However, a noticeable wind blowed almost without interruption, but this contributes precisely to this moderate temperature regime. Here are the July weather records from the Carobgarden EcoHouse (see actual data from Netatmo on the foot of the page):
Fortunately, no forest fires have broken out in the region so far.
Summer 2022
Here in Switzerland we are groaning under the summer heat: Today 18.07.2022 the thermometer climbs up to 35° in the north and in the Valais, tomorrow it is supposed to be 38°C! Interestingly, the temperatures in Makry-Gialos are currently lower, with less cooling at night, which is quite welcome on the way out. The pleasant temperatures are thanks to the NW wind, which is only moderately noticeable on the beach:
