The climate of Lemnos (Greece)
Lemnos is a Greek island situated in the Aegean Sea. It is
part of the North-Aegean islands. Myrina is the capital and the
largest city on the island which for the rest only consists of small
villages. Lemnos has a major part in Greek mythology. For instance it
is mentioned in the story of Jason and the Argonauts. In the center of
Myrina the fortified building of Kastro can be found. The island
hasn’t yet been discovered by mass tourism so it has been able to keep
its original character. On and around the island many pebble beach
bays can be found. Lemnos has a Mediterranean climate with warm and
dry summers and cold and wet winters. During the summer there is
little rainfall. During the winter there is much rainfall; this makes
the island very green. During the warmest days of the year
temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius can be expected.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
