Record Dry October in Ioannina but Not the Driest Ever
Ioannina experienced one of the driest Octobers in over a century, with only 20 mm of rainfall recorded. While recent statistics indicate that October 1995 holds the record for being completely dry, other notably parched years include 1969, 1984, and 2001, which saw minimal precipitation. In stark contrast, 1919 and 1972 were marked by heavy rainfall, totaling 361 mm and 353 mm respectively. Weather forecasts suggest that the dry spell will continue for at least another week.
