Crete is experiencing high temperatures today, reaching up to 36 degrees Celsius across the island. Conditions will be hot and sunny during the day, making it important to stay hydrated, seek shade during peak afternoon hours (12:00 to 16:00), and apply sunscreen regularly. Tourists planning outdoor activities such as hiking, beach visits, or sightseeing should schedule them for the morning or early evening to avoid heat-related discomfort. Weather conditions are expected to change significantly tonight, with rain and thunderstorms forecast to move in after dark. Travelers with evening plans, outdoor dining reservations, or late-night excursions should be prepared for wet weather and bring a light rain jacket. Road conditions may become slippery, so those driving should exercise extra caution. Check local forecasts before heading out tomorrow morning as conditions may continue into the following day.
