Back to newsCrete is experiencing localized thunderstorms and strong northerly winds (known as Boriades or Meltemi) in parts of the island. Visitors should expect sudden weather changes, particularly in exposed coastal and mountainous areas. Strong winds can affect ferry services and small boat trips, so check with operators before departing. If you are planning outdoor activities such as hiking or water sports, monitor local forecasts closely and avoid open elevated terrain during storms. Carry a light rain layer even on sunny mornings, as conditions can shift quickly. Beaches on the north coast may see choppy seas. Local weather updates are available through the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) at emy.gr.
