Crete is experiencing sunny skies and high temperatures around 34°C today, July 13, accompanied by strong winds across the island. The warm conditions are typical of peak summer, but visitors should be aware that gusty winds may affect coastal activities and ferry connections, particularly on exposed northern and eastern routes. Travelers planning boat trips or water sports should check conditions locally before heading out. A new heat wave is expected to arrive in the coming days, pushing temperatures even higher. Tourists are advised to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during midday hours (roughly 12:00 to 16:00), wear sunscreen, and seek shade regularly. Light clothing and a hat are essential. If visiting archaeological sites or hiking, plan outings for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the most intense heat.
