Sunny and scorching Tuesday for Crete amid strong meltemi winds

Crete is forecast to experience clear, sunny skies on Tuesday, June 23, with temperatures reaching into the low 30s Celsius across the island. The meltemi, the seasonal northerly winds typical of the Aegean summer, will be present and may feel strong, particularly along northern coastal areas and exposed beaches. For tourists, this means excellent beach weather with good visibility, though the meltemi can make sea conditions choppy, so swimmers and water sports participants should check local conditions before heading out. The winds will provide some relief from the heat but may affect ferry schedules and small boat excursions, so confirm departures with operators in advance. Stay hydrated, apply high-factor sunscreen, and seek shade during peak afternoon hours between 13:00 and 16:00 when temperatures are at their highest.
