Evrotas Valley summer average highs (beats Cordoba)

[southathens]

Following up from a previous topic where we hypothesized than areas further inland and North of Sparta would have higher summer average maxes 

Well it appears that the National Observatory of Athens has been running a secondary Hydrometeorological station in the depths of the Evrotas Valley around 10 km North of Sparta the past 4 years.

Below some pics of the Evrotas station and its position relative to Sparta WMO met station.

 

 

 

And below is how Evrotas NOA station looks the past 4 years. Notice the particularly pronounced summer average highs. Especially that July 40.5C average max. Again we are talking about only 4 years of data and it is a secondary station so some caution is warranted. In any case it does seem to favour our hypothesis that the depths of the Evrotas Valley might just beat Cordoba at a European level when it comes to summer highs. Both Taygetos and Parnon mountains provide a constant foehn effect during the summer and this is particularly obvious from the Sparta WMO station data alone. 

What do you guys think?
