Detailed explanation-1: -The Mediterranean climate covers the majority of Southern Europe, including Spain, Portugal, southern France, southern Italy, and Greece. Hot, nearly rainless summers and mild, rainy winters characterize this climate.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scholars have long assumed the climate of ancient Greece (1st millennium BC) to have been broadly similar to today’s mild Mediterranean climate of long, hot summers, and short, relatively mild winters.
Detailed explanation-4: -The climate in Ancient Greece generally featured hot summers and mild winters. Because it was so hot, most people wore lightweight clothing throughout most of the year. They would put on a cloak or wrap during the colder days of the winter months.
