Spring is a
good time for touring the area before some parts just
get too hot. In Greece and The Islands, temperatures
reach an average maximum of 25 °C (78 °F) in May,
sometimes enhanced by the presence of the "Sirocco", a
hot wind from Africa. Up to ten or eleven hours of
sunshine can be expected, coupled with up to 30 dry
days.
The summer months can be extremely hot. If sailing
around the Greek Islands, watch out for the "Etesian"
winds which can persist for days making the sea choppy.
This can reach gale force during the day before dropping
out at night. It does however have a plus, inasmuch as
it makes the heat more bearable in those regions. The
summer months are almost totally dry, and 10 or more
hours of sunshine are expected on average.
The high temperatures continue well into the Autumn. The
"Sirocco" again often affects the Greek Islands at this
time of year, holding average maxima at about 29 °C (85
°F), falling to 19 °C (66 °F) by November. Greece and
the Islands become progressively wetter through the
season, (15 to 17 days by November).
By November, only 4-5 hours of sunshine are expected
over Greece and The Islands.
