Crete Heat Wave: 37°C Highs, Rough Seas Expected

Monday, 29 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Crete is experiencing sunny skies with high temperatures reaching up to 37°C, particularly in the western parts of the island, including the Chania and Rethymno regions. Visitors should expect intense heat throughout the day and plan outdoor activities such as sightseeing and hiking for early morning or late afternoon hours. Stay hydrated, apply high-SPF sunscreen, and seek shade during midday. In the Aegean Sea, winds are reaching up to 7 Beaufort locally, which may cause rough sea conditions and potential disruptions to ferry services between islands. Travelers planning boat trips or island-hopping should check with their ferry operator for schedule updates before departing. Inland areas may feel even hotter than coastal zones, so beachgoers should be aware that sea breezes will offer some relief along the shoreline.
