description

Overall, February was close to average with its rainfall amounts. In some of the areas, the amounts were smaller than average, especially in the North. On the other hand, there were areas, which were rainier than average like Samaria and the central and southern Coastal Plain.

Most of the monthly rain fell during an event occurring in the middle of the month, where also large amounts of snow fell in the mountains, so that in February, like in January and December, a few focused rain storms managed to bring most of the areas of the country to near average amounts. This is despite a winter, characterized by a deficiency of rainy days and a large number of sunny days.

Despite the low temperatures during the central precipitation event of the month, February was warmer than average.

Regarding the rainfall amounts since the beginning of the season - the prominent areas in February were the centre and the east, unlike the course till the end of January in which the North and the West had the advantage and this moderated the differences between the north and the centre. Nevertheless, the general trend has not changed significantly- the accumulated amounts exceed the average for the parallel period in the Coastal Plain and the north, are close to average in the Central Mountains and lower than it in the South.
