Editorial comment

The weather in Greece is gradually turning into summer mode: the temperature is rising, but local rains and thunderstorms in the mountains still remind us that May is not going to go away completely without character. For cities this is almost a summer scenario, for mountainous areas it is a reason not to ignore the forecast, and for islands it is a reminder that the north wind in the Aegean Sea can ruin plans better than any ferry schedule.
