Greece has a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine, mild temperatures and a limited amount of rainfall. Due to the country's geographical position, its rugged relief and its distribution between the mainland and the sea, there is great variation in Greece's climate.
In summer, the dry hot days are cooled by seasonal winds called the meltemi, while mountainous regions have generally lower temperatures.
The winters are mild in lowland areas, with a minimum amount of snow and ice, yet, mountains are usually snow-covered. Moreover, a common phenomenon is the occurrence of different climactic conditions during the same season (for instance, mild heat in coastal areas and cool temperatures in mountainous regions).
The island of Crete has a typical mediterranean climate featuring hot, dry summers and mild winters. Crete presents the longest summers in Greece. During summer time, temperatures usually range from a minimum of 20 C (June) to a maximum of 31 C (July and August). During the same period, humidity usually ranges from a minimum of 56% (July) to a maximum of 59% (August). Rainfall is rare during the summer months. The sunshine in Crete during summer ranges between 12 and 13,5 hours per day. South Crete presents higher temperatures and less rain compared to north Crete.
