Temperatures across Crete are rising slightly today, with highs reaching up to 37°C (99°F) in some areas. Strong northerly winds, known as Boras, are affecting the Aegean Sea, which may cause rough sea conditions and potential disruptions to ferry services between islands. Visitors spending time outdoors should take precautions against the heat: stay hydrated, seek shade during midday hours (roughly 12:00 to 16:00), and apply high-SPF sunscreen. Beachgoers should also be aware of choppy water conditions, particularly on north-facing coastlines. Those planning boat trips or inter-island ferries should check with their operators for any schedule changes due to the wind conditions.
