Back to newsWeather conditions in Crete are expected to deteriorate on Wednesday, April 22. Cloudy skies will move in during the afternoon, bringing rain and possible thunderstorms to several parts of the island. Northern areas are likely to see the strongest activity.
Tourists planning outdoor excursions, beach visits, or hikes should aim to complete activities in the morning before conditions worsen. Carry a light rain jacket if heading out in the afternoon. Road conditions may become slippery during heavy downpours, so drive cautiously, particularly on mountain routes. Gorge walks such as Samaria should be approached with caution or postponed, as flash flooding is possible during and after significant rainfall. Check local forecasts and trail status before departure. The unsettled pattern may ease by Thursday, but monitor updates from the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) for the latest outlook.
