Weather conditions
The weather at the centre throughout most of the
season is very pleasant, not going much above 25oC (around 78oF in old
money)
The typical weather in Pilion in May/June and
September features warm to hot days, and coolish nights. There are
mercifully few mosquitoes or midges in this region, and one generally
sleeps under a light blanket. Rainfall is minimal, so that tent
accommodation is very feasible but please be prepared for rain early
and late our season (May and late September). This varies tremendously
due to the mountains, and when is does rain is usually for short
periods.
Below is a weather chart showing average, maximum and
minimum temperatures in the Pilion region.
It does feel cooler at the centre due to the altitude
and mountain breezes. We are at 400m so the temp feels about 2oc less
than at sea level.
There is plenty of shade at the centre, being mostly wooded in the
lower grounds.
Please be aware- for air-conditioning, we open the
windows!
