Sunday, June 28 brings typical late-June conditions across Crete. Expect clear skies and strong sunshine throughout the island, with temperatures reaching 30 to 34 degrees Celsius inland and slightly cooler along the coasts. Northern coastal areas including Heraklion and Chania will benefit from moderate northerly winds (meltemi), keeping conditions more comfortable. Southern and eastern areas such as Ierapetra may feel hotter with lighter winds. Sea temperatures are around 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, ideal for swimming. UV index is very high, so tourists should apply high-SPF sunscreen, wear a hat, and stay hydrated. Avoid outdoor activities between 12:00 and 16:00 if possible. No rain or storms are forecast. Conditions are safe for all outdoor activities, boat trips, and sightseeing throughout the day.
