On Tuesday, June 22, Crete is experiencing northerly winds reaching up to 7 Beaufort (strong breeze to near-gale force), which may cause rough sea conditions around the island. Temperatures will climb to around 30°C, making it a hot day despite the wind. Tourists planning boat trips, ferry crossings, or water activities should check with local operators before departure, as sea conditions may be choppy and some excursions could be delayed or cancelled. On land, the strong winds may offer some relief from the heat, but beach umbrellas and lightweight items should be secured. Stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and seek shade during peak afternoon hours. Check local forecasts and port authority updates if travelling between islands.
