Crete Expects 30°C Heat and Strong Winds as Boriades Arrive

Wednesday, 24 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Crete is expecting warm temperatures of up to 30°C (86°F) on Thursday, accompanied by strong northerly winds, known locally as Boriades. These winds are common in the Aegean during summer and can feel refreshing in the heat, but visitors should be prepared for gusty conditions, particularly along the northern coastline and exposed beaches. Tourists planning boat trips, water activities, or ferry crossings should check with local operators before departure, as rough sea conditions may cause delays or cancellations. On land, conditions remain pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Apply high-SPF sunscreen even on windy days, as UV exposure remains strong despite the breeze. Stay hydrated, seek shade during midday hours, and carry a light layer if you plan to spend time near the water or at higher elevations inland.
