Hellenic National Meteorological Service, National meteorological service in Elliniko-Argyroupoli Municipality, Greece.
The Hellenic National Meteorological Service is Greece's government agency for weather forecasting, operating from its headquarters in the Elliniko-Argyroupoli Municipality. It maintains a network of monitoring stations distributed across the country to collect atmospheric data and issue daily weather predictions.
The organization was established in 1931 under the Ministry of Aviation to address Greece's meteorological and climate monitoring needs. Over the decades, it has grown into the country's primary institution for weather observation and atmospheric research.
The service guides Greek farmers, mariners, and citizens in planning activities through weather forecasts that influence agricultural cycles and maritime operations.
The headquarters is located in Elliniko-Argyroupoli in the southern Athens metropolitan area with modern monitoring equipment and computers. The facility is a government institution, so public access may be limited to certain areas or require prior arrangement.
Class A meteorologists at the service include Hellenic Air Force Academy officers and civilians with specialized degrees in physics and mathematics.
