Meltemi Winds, 30°C Heat Expected in Crete Monday

Crete will experience Meltemi winds and temperatures reaching 30°C on Monday, June 22. The Meltemi is a strong, dry northerly wind typical of the Aegean summer, which can make beaches on the north coast choppy and sea conditions rough. Tourists planning boat trips, ferry crossings, or water activities should check conditions before heading out, as services may be delayed or cancelled. On land, the wind provides some relief from the heat, but sun exposure remains strong. Stay hydrated, apply high-factor sunscreen, and seek shade during midday hours. Southern coastal areas tend to be more sheltered from Meltemi winds and may offer calmer swimming conditions. Inland and mountain areas will also be warm but breezy.
