Climate
Greece has a subtropical winter rainy climate (alternating trade winds with wintry cyclonic weather). The warm, dry summers are due to winds from northern directions (Meltemi or Etesia which often reach storm force over the sea), the winters are characterized by rain-bringing winds from western directions. Precipitation, temperature and winds are significantly modified by altitude, exposure and location to the sea. Because of its exposure to the westerly winds coming from the Atlantic, the western side of Greece receives much higher rainfall than the eastern side (e.g. Kerkyra 1 239 mm / year, Thessaloniki 441 mm / year, Patras 728 mm / year, Athens 395 mm / year). Overall, the climatic properties of the west side are more maritime: the daily and annual temperatures are more balanced, frost days are less common. Despite higher precipitation and higher humidity, the average number of sunny days is not lower. With low relative humidity, the temperatures in the summer months reach very high values (up to 45 ° C). There is regular snow in the mountains in winter. Ingress of cold air from the north also occasionally leads to snowfalls in the lowlands, especially in northern Greece. The intramontane pools, at the bottom of which, especially in winter, cold-air pools form, have special climatic properties.
Wide gravel beds are an expression of the different water flow of the rivers, which is adapted to the course of precipitation. While the rivers in western Greece carry water all year round, most of them in the east largely dry up during the summer months; only the rivers (Axios, Strymon, Nestos, Evros) coming from the interior of the Balkan Peninsula and thus another climatic area carry water all year round.
National symbols
The nine-stripe blue and white national flag with the cross field in the upper corner, popular since 1828, was legally reintroduced on December 22, 1978. The nine stripes are supposed to remind of the nine syllables of the battle cry “Freedom or Death”, the colors symbolize the sea and the sky (blue) as well as the purity of the struggle during the war of independence (white).
The coat of arms, introduced in 1975 after the abolition of the monarchy, shows a continuous silver cross in the blue shield (symbol for the sea). The shield is framed by two branches of laurel. The cross stands for the Christian faith, the laurel wreath reminds of the ancient tradition of sporting competitions.
National holiday: March 25, the traditional »Independence Day«, commemorates the beginning of the uprising against the Turks in 1821.
