Climate[edit]

A topographic map of the Region of Arta.

The climate of Arta Region is generally semi-aridtoarid, and its territory is mostly covered by mountains, high plains, and desert. The climate of the coastal strip is influenced by warm ocean waters, keeping the region free from extremes of temperature and providing moisture for rainfall. However, most of the Arta Region populace experience two weather seasons: a "winter" period of rather cold and warm temperatures and higher levels of rainfall and a sultry summer period of hot, sticky temperatures.

The annual mean statistics for some Arta Region centres is shown below:

Arta 17.1 °C (62.8 °F) 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) 205 mm (8.1 in)
We`a 18.5 °C (65.3 °F) 38.7 °C (101.7 °F) 201 mm (7.9 in)
