Monday, 29 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

The meltemi winds that typically cool Crete during summer are easing this week, leading to a noticeable rise in temperatures across the island. Thermometers are expected to climb to 34°C by Tuesday, bringing hot and largely still conditions. Tourists should stay well hydrated, apply high-factor sunscreen, and avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, typically between 13:00 and 17:00. Beach visits are best planned for the morning or early evening. The reduced wind may also make sea conditions calmer, which is good news for boat trips and water sports. Light, breathable clothing is recommended. Those exploring inland areas or archaeological sites should carry water and seek shade regularly. The heat is forecast to be island-wide, so all regions of Crete will be affected.
