Thursday, June 11 begins with some rain in northern Crete and the mountainous interior, according to the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY). Conditions are expected to clear through the morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies across the island for the remainder of the day. Temperatures will reach up to 31 degrees Celsius, making for warm and pleasant afternoon conditions typical of early summer in Crete. Visitors heading to mountain villages or highland areas such as the Lasithi Plateau or the White Mountains should expect wet roads and reduced visibility in the early hours, so plan excursions for mid-morning or later. Coastal areas and beaches will see good conditions by midday. Light clothing is recommended, along with sun protection for outdoor activities in the afternoon heat.
