Help us to record the Extreme Weather Conditions

FALAKRO mountain is situated in prefecture of Drama and is the western end of the Rhodopes mountain range. Is a mountain without dentrodous vegetation. In September 2009 a Weather station was installed at Holy Spirit plateau at an altitude of 1730 meters. Since the first months of it operation very low temperatures was recorded and on 25 January 2010 proved that this is the cooler region in GREECE. A minimum temperature of -24.4 Celsius degrees was noted. This is the minimum temperature has been noted in Greece since we have Official Measurements. The previous recor of minimum temperature held until now by the neighboring village of Kato Nevrokopi with -20.9 Celsius degrees . This event lead us to install another weather station in one of the tops of the mountain at 2111 meters altitude to find even LOWER temperatures and record the extreme weather contitions of this region. However, the cost is quite large and we can not afford it entirely because the area does not have electricity and internet. We will be grateful, if it is easy to you of course, to help us in this effort, by sponsor a part of the required equipment or by a financial donation. We count on YOU. This can be done by the contact form of the page menu in order to get in touch with us, or by clicking the DONATE button.

THANK YOU for taking the time and for your visit to our page.
