Simple 'averages' are wrong yet again, so stop posting them. I've added the RH and %sun infosomewhere on Wikipedia as well:
I don't care, and normals are wrong, raw averages are better because the raw average in NOAA calculate the true average temperature from the true data, not change them.
In NOAA averages section, you can calulate the average in the period that you want.
And Greece or other European country don't make a "specific normals" (they just calculate the raw average from the data) therefore you should STOP comparing what is not comparable !

No one but yourself could care less for your opinion, which is certainly not superior to those of NWS meteorologists and NOAA/NCDC climatologists. And you have not provided evidence that Europe has no procedures in place to deal with missing or suspect data values.
I'll have to go with Thessaloniki for the presumably cloudier winters. I assumed a reduction in Virginia Beach's sunshine hours of 10-15%. Not scientific by any means though.

Well, our weather source (BOM) goes by the raw/long term averages rather than the 30 year 'normals'.
