Weather in Greece – Long hot summers with cloudless skies
Hot sunshine is a major draw when taking a holiday in Greece, whether you are holidaying on the mainland or on the Mediterranean islands. The summers are long and hot and rain is practically nonexistent for three months. The weather on the Greek Islands and mainland Greece will be spectacular during the summer months especially if you love high temperatures. From April until October the temperatures in Greece begin to climb over the 20C mark and can reach well over 30C during the hottest months. From June until August you can expect the sun to be shining down from a cloudless sky for at least 12 hours per day.
Greece Weather – Sizzling summer temperatures
Without doubt the weather in Greece is one reason holiday-makers return year after year. A holiday in Greece anytime between May and September should guarantee exceptionally good weather. June, July and August are the most popular months for sun lovers and the beaches of Corfu, Crete and Rhodes offer endless sunshine and warm, crystal clear waters. The Greek Islands benefit from cooling breezes during the day, and the evenings will still be very warm. Mainland Greece during the summer can be just as hot as the islands but the cooler spring and autumn temperatures are perfect for exploring the towns and villages or relaxing on the beaches.
Weather in Greece – Warm spring and autumn months
The spring and autumn months in Greece will be slightly cooler at around 15C to 20C but many holiday-makers prefer this time of year. Spring in Greece is an especially colourful and bright period as the flowers come into full bloom and the sun will be shining down for around eight hours per day. The water temperatures are usually warm enough for swimming at this time of year and this period is a popular choice for family holidays in Greece.
