Back to newsCrete is experiencing unseasonal autumn-like weather on May 24, 2026. The Greek National Meteorological Service (EMY) is forecasting cloudy skies, rain showers, thunderstorms, and strong winds across the island throughout the day.
Tourists should plan outdoor activities accordingly. If you have scheduled beach visits, boat trips, or hikes, consider postponing them or checking conditions locally before heading out. Rain gear and an extra layer are advisable. Ferries and small boat excursions may be affected by strong winds, so confirm departures with operators in advance.
The weather is expected to resemble a typical autumn day rather than late spring. Conditions may vary between the north and south coasts and between coastal and mountain areas, so check local forecasts for your specific region of Crete before making plans.
