B-
It's too dry, and the summer lows are too hot, the highs aren't that bad, there's much worse in southern Spain.

You mean like Seville?

One of them, but it's still not the hottest.
Cordoba, (and I'm guessing El Granado, Montoro and Andujar) have july/august average highs of 37ºC

Some areas may have 37.5ºC plus average highs in July

It's not very clear, but orange is 30/32.4ºC, red 32.5/34.9º, dark red 35/37.4ºC, and those tiny areas in the border seem to have 37.5ºC+

I wonder what the hottest stations in Greece are

I love hot summer mediterrean climates, so Athens gets an A from me

Nowhere in the Med has summers nearly as hot as Phoenix where you live, unless you go into the Sahara Lol.

Most likely the ones in the area of Athens, Sparta, Messara valley/south coast of Crete or Eastern side of Rhodes island (Lindos, genady etc) in my opinion.

Hey, Meso do you know if Rhodes climate chart will get updated too ?

B from me

July and August a few degrees too warm for my liking, the other months are great, would prefer winters to be 3-4C warmer though

If you mean in terms of summer mean maximum temperatures then Sparta is by far the hottest area in Greece.I reckon in the last 30 years the mean maximum for July and August should be around 36C.Still a tad cooler than Cordoba but about the same as Seville.

Warmest station I could find on the Hellenic Met site is Agrinion. I've been there. It's extremely stuffy. I specifically remember these biting flies just all over the place.
