Detailed explanation-1: -Greece has a Mediterranean climate, with mild and wet winters in the southern lowland and island regions and cold winters with strong snowfalls in the mountainous areas in the central and northern regions and hot, dry summers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Summers were hot and dry, and winters were wet and windy. Ancient Greeks raised crops and animals well suited to the environment. Wheat and barley were grown, and olives and grapes were harvested. The many hills and mountains provided shrubs to feed the herds of sheep, goats, and cattle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece in July is invariably hot, averaging 81 Fahrenheit in Athens (but reaching an average high of 91.5 Fahrenheit in the afternoon, with many days topping a sweltering 100 Fahrenheit). Many of the islands, plus the mountainous areas, can be a little cooler. This is dry season, too, with little chance of rain.
