Crete weather stations and weather reports

 

There are a number of weather resources for Crete. Here are the most useful ones:.

Weather Underground has a few weather stations in Crete. You can search for them within the site using their search function. Alternatively click in the weather link on the right side of this page.

Meteo.gr offers a number of weather stations from this link showing you the current and past conditions in Crete. You can also see their forecasts (in Greek) for a number of places in Crete under the following links:

Chania

Kissamos

Falasarna

Paleochora

Vrysses

Sfakia

Rethymnon

You can access many more (for example for Central and East Crete) from this map.

 

Poseidon.gr is another excellent source of weather information and includes sea conditions.

The National Observatory of Athens weather forecasts are often very reliable.

Finally, see also Apostolos' weather blog for articles about the weather in Crete

 

Because of the mountainous geography of Crete as well as it's location at the edge of the European continent it is very difficult to predict the weather accurately. You will often need to look at several different weather reports (which may not all agree with each other) in order to get an idea of what is probable. possible and less likely.
