From August 2008 there is a meteorological station located in Vatopedi, donated by the Foundation Stavros Niarchos.

The station is a Davis-type and counts all the basic meteorological parameters, ie pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind direction and wind strength.

Every 10 minutes data is collected in real time and send to the National Observatory of Athens, and after going through quality control, archived for future use.

A link to the weather station is on this weblog (see on the left: Current weather + forecast Vatopedi/Athos).
For a 6-day forcast look here and here fora satelite picture.

Thanks to keliotis weblog.
