The Greek mainland is extremely mountainous, making Greece one of the most mountainous countries in Europe. [1] [2] According to the Köppen climate classification Greece has 11 climates, the most in Europe for its size. [3] To the west of the Pindus mountain range, the climate is generally wetter and has some maritime features. The east of the ...
Specific humidity (or moisture content) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel. [15] Specific humidity is approximately equal to the mixing ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapor in an air parcel to the mass of dry air for the same parcel.
Climate (from Ancient Greek κλฮฏμα 'inclination') is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period. [9] The standard averaging period is 30 years, [10] but other periods may be used depending on the purpose.

Etesians have been described since ancient times; their Turkish and the Modern Greek names are probably a loan from Italian mal tempo 'bad weather'. [5]
A humid subtropical climate is a subtropical-temperate climate type, characterized by long and hot summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates, and equatorward from either humid continental (in North America and Asia ...
Melitopol has a humid continental climate that borders on a humid subtropical climate (Dfa bordering on Cfa within the Köppen climate classification). The temperature is slightly below freezing in winter and hot in summer. January is the coolest month, having a mean of −1.8 °C (28.8 °F) and an average low of −4.5 °C (23.9 °F).
The earliest attestation of the word in Greek and of the worship of the winds by the Greeks, are perhaps the Mycenaean Greek word-forms ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐, a-ne-mo-i-je-re-ja, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐, a-ne-mo,i-je-re-ja, i.e. "priestess of the winds".
