Climate
Preliminary data from the station of the National Observatory of Athens indicate that the past few years Stylida has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification: BSh). Beck et.al (2023) also suggests that marginal nearby coastal areas of Phthiotis fall within this climate for the 1991-2020 period. [3] Stylida has mild winters and very hot summers. During the summer, the frequent Meltemi winds that blow in Greece may provide a strong Foehn effect in the area which is in the lea side of mountains of the central mainland. Most precipitation falls in autumn and during the winter.
