In Lindos, as in many other parts of Rhodes, the peak of the heat comes in August. At this time, the sun is especially active, the air temperature becomes record-breaking, and the sea warms up to such an extent that swimming almost does not refresh the holiday-makers heated by the sun baths. After examining the weather forecast for Lindos in August, take special care when planning your trip, and perhaps reschedule it to a more favorable time.
Greek heat
The last month of summer annually becomes a record holder in annual meteorological observations. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by dry and hot summers, does not rain in August. On the one hand, low air humidity makes it easier to endure high temperatures, but on the other hand, it is possible to freshen up only in the sea or in the pool:
- Columns of thermometers in August most often stop at around + 30 ° С by noon, and in the second half of the day they soar above + 35 ° С.
- On some days, temperatures in Lindos even exceed + 40 ° C, and therefore it is worth being on the beach in August only in the morning hours and before sunset.
- At night, thermometers show + 25 ° C, but the absence of rain does not bring the desired freshness.
- Do not neglect the use of sunscreen. Your cream should have a high degree of UV protection for your skin. Choose clothes that cover your arms and shoulders and glasses with good quality dark lenses.
The weather in August is not conducive to long excursions. There is a lot to see in and around Lindos, but at this time of year it is worth refraining from walking in the open sun and exploring the archaeological sites.
Sea. Lindos. August
The Mediterranean Sea, washing the shores of Lindos, warms up steadily to + 25 ° C in August. On beaches with a shallow entrance to the water, thermometers show + 27 ° C at all, while in rocky bays in the vicinity the sea refreshes better, without warming up too much due to the solid depth.
Yachting and fishing on the high seas are especially popular with active tourists at this time of the year.
