Temperatures across Crete are rising, with highs expected to reach 25 degrees Celsius. Skies will be mostly clear with some patches of thicker cloud in places. Visitors in the western parts of the island should expect local showers during the afternoon hours, so carrying a light rain layer is advisable if you are heading to areas such as Chania or Rethymno. Winds in the surrounding seas are forecast to reach 8 Beaufort from the southeast, particularly in the Ionian. Travelers planning ferry connections or boat trips should check with operators before departure, as conditions may affect schedules. Overall, the warming trend makes for pleasant sightseeing conditions across most of the island, especially in central and eastern Crete.
