Back to newsCrete is forecast to see sunny skies and temperatures reaching 32°C this Sunday, July 6. While the sunshine will make beach conditions appealing, strong northern winds (known locally as the meltemi) are expected across the island. Visitors planning boat trips, ferry crossings, or watersports should check conditions before departure, as rough seas may cause delays or cancellations. On land, the wind will provide some relief from the heat, but exposed coastal areas and hilltop sites may feel gusty. Stay hydrated, apply sunscreen regularly, and seek shade during peak hours between 12:00 and 16:00. Lightweight layers are recommended if you plan to spend time outdoors in the evening, as the wind can make temperatures feel cooler after sunset.
