Climate of Santorini
Santorini is located in the area of winter rainfall climate. The summers
are marked by drought.
Temperatures in the summer months like July and August range from 30 -32
degrees C during the day to 20- 23 degrees at night. Rainfall like in
most of the Aegean islands is almost non-existent during the summer but
rain showers can be expected between the end of September and end of
April. The winters are generally humid like in most of the Greek
islands. Snow is very rear.
A humidity compensation in the form of dew
formation creates regular, dry and cool Meltemi in conjunction with
evaporation over the surrounding sea. Except for the cliff notes on
Santorini farmland about 80% of the island surface. The largest amount
of vineyards with large terraces and stone walls. Smaller units are used
for the cultivation of vegetables and fruit for the self-sufficiency.
Water is the limiting factor. Year-round streams do not exist.
Unfavourable sites or brown field sites are partially grazing .
