Rate the climate: Fri, Greece

C+

Acceptable temperatures year-round, but it is simply too arid.

Probably the actual winter highs are indeed warmer if we had a Stevenson Screen station in Fri.

This is a fan aspirated station which consistently underestimates (some times considerably) max Ts compared to a SS. Pity HNMS does not publish the Kasos AP maxes consistently in their website. One needs to order Kasos AP data directly from their site.

I am guessing Kasos AP winter highs should be around 17C to 17.5C in Jan and Feb and around 19C in December and March.

Regarding frosts Fri, the Port of Rhodes, Kastellorizo and coastal Karpathos are the only areas in the country that we don't have reliable reports of snow ever settling. Specifically for the Port of Rhodes for which we have the most observations we have researched as far back as the late 19th century and we don't have a reliable report of settled snow. 

Record low Ts in the wider area are also noteworthy. The most extensive record comes from Karpathos AP and the record low from 1971 that the HNMS coastal stations on the island are operating is 2.2C in 1976 and 2004. I doubt Fri has ever dropped less than 1C the past century or so. 

I think more to your liking you will find Psari Forada in coastal South Crete. These data are from a passive Davis station which belongs to Creta Weather network.

A-, much too dry and I'd like more seasonality, but not offensive and temps/rain pattern are still very good.
