Back to newsCrete is experiencing morning rain showers and thunderstorms this Sunday, April 27. Wet conditions are expected particularly during the earlier part of the day, so tourists should plan outdoor activities for the afternoon if skies clear. Carry a light rain jacket and avoid exposed hilltops or coastal cliffs during lightning activity.
Looking ahead, meteorologists are monitoring a potential cold air intrusion at the start of May. This could bring lower temperatures and unsettled weather across the island during the first days of the month, which falls within the shoulder season when many visitors arrive. Travelers planning trips to Crete in early May should pack layers and check forecasts closer to their travel dates. Beach and hiking plans may need flexibility depending on how the cold front develops.
