Summers (from April to October) are hot (often exceptionally hot) and dry (or mildly humid, with rainfalls that occur during thunderstorms), and winters (from mid-October to March) are wet and cool, but temperatures remain above or well above freezing (meteorological phenomenon of <a href="/wiki/Alkyonides" class="mw-redirect" title="Alkyonides">Alkyonides</a>).
