The climate of Leros (Greece)
Leros is an island in the south eastern part of Greece situated
in the Aegean Sea and part of the Dodekanessos archipelago. This green
island has several beaches well worth enjoying. The island hasn’t been
discovered yet by mass tourism. A sizeable number of the foreigners on
Leros are refugees from the Middle East who enter the European Union
via this poorly guarded island. Leros has a pleasant Mediterranean
climate with warm and dry summers and wet but mild winters. Most of
the rain falls from November till March. During the summer there is
little precipitation, the sun shines exuberantly and temperatures are
around 30 degrees Celsius. Sometimes temperatures even rise to 40
degrees Celsius. However, temperatures are too low to make the island
suitable as a winter sun destination.

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:
