Back to newsCrete is expecting morning rain and thunderstorms this Sunday, April 27. Showers are forecast to move across the island during the early hours, with the chance of localised heavy rainfall and lightning. Conditions are expected to improve through the afternoon, but visitors planning outdoor activities or beach trips should consider starting their day later or keeping flexible plans.
Looking further ahead, meteorologists are monitoring a possible cold air intrusion at the start of May, which could bring below-average temperatures and additional unsettled weather across the island. Travellers arriving in early May should pack an extra layer and check forecasts closer to their travel date.
If you are renting a vehicle or visiting mountain areas such as the Samaria Gorge, exercise caution on wet roads and trails. Always check local weather updates before heading out.
