"The city
enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with
sunny dry summers and mild rainy winters. During
the period between April and October, clear-sky
weather is almost an everyday feature. The atmosphere
is always warm, but fierce heat waves (temperatures
above 38 °C) are not very common, since the
prevailing Etesian winds ("Meltemia") blow from
northern directions and pleasantly moderate
the conditions..." [Source: Wikipedia].
