When planning a trip to
Athens,
the weather is a consideration. Attica's sunshine and pleasant climate
give visitors the opportunity to enjoy a trip to Athens during any season.
From March through May it's almost always pleasant and mild
. Between June and August, the temperature rises steadily,
making August the month in which Athenians try to avoid the city.
Although sometimes almost as hot as August, September is usually
balmy, with occasional light rain. October offers beautiful weather,
with rain and some high winds Most rain falls between November and
February,
when Athens can be cold and windy. Even so, there are many sunny days in
winter and a heavy rain is often followed by brilliant sunshine. Average
daytime temperatures range from 52F in January to 92F in August, sometimes
rising above 100F.
