Crete Braces for Sunny Saturday with Powerful Meltemi Winds

Friday, 26 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Crete is forecast to have clear, sunny skies on Saturday, June 28, with strong northerly winds (Meltemi) persisting across the island. While the weather will be bright and dry, the powerful north winds may affect coastal conditions, making the sea choppy in exposed northern areas. Tourists planning beach days on the north coast should expect rougher waves and strong gusts, which could limit swimming comfort. South-facing beaches such as those around Matala, Plakias, or the Libyan Sea coast will generally offer calmer conditions and more sheltered swimming. Visitors on ferries or small boat excursions should check with operators before departure, as high winds may cause delays or route changes. Sun protection remains essential as UV levels are high in late June.
