Field notes
Mediterranean (Cyclades) — among the driest climates in Greece because of the volcanic-island geography. Summer (June–August, 23–26°C average) is bone-dry and hot. Winter (December–February, 12–13°C average) is mild and rainy. The northwesterly meltemi wind blows hard through July–August.
