On the other hand the variability and the trends of the extreme temperature values have not been considered sufficiently. We notice that the variability of the maximum and minimum temperature values and generally of the extreme weather has direct economic and societal implications. The interest in this paper is focused on the study of the trends of the daily and the monthly maximum temperature during the warm months July and August for the time period from 1955 to 2000 in the wide Athens area and specifically measurements of the Nea Philadelphia and Helliniko meteorological stations. Nea Philadelphia represents an immiscibly urban area station, while Helliniko a coastal suburban area one. The specific sites were selected for the comparative study of the temperature maximum trends in a time period which covers the population growth in the area of Athens. For the whole time period, the differences of the daily maximum temperature from the corresponding 10-days period mean maximum temperatures per month were calculated for each site. Then, the days with positive difference per month and per year as well as the trends of the time-series for each station were recorded along with the statistical significance of the regression slope’s value using the Student t-test distribution. Furthermore, in order to identify the “warmest decade” in the time-series, a study of the daily maximum temperature trend for the months July and August was performed for each decade followed by a test for the statistical significance of the slope coefficient. It is known that the presumable differences of the temperature time-series depend on the influence of the urbanization, the modification of the natural suburban environment and / or on the stations’ displacement. Based on these facts, we present more in this paper the conclusions of a comparative study of the results regarding each station analytically as well as the interpretation of the results concerning all the stations as an ensemble.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>186</first_page><last_page>194</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">418</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000418</doi><timestamp>1714600036</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/418</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
