With the onset of autumn, the velvet season begins in Greece, although the weather in Lindos in September and, especially, in the first decade of the month, so far little reminds that summer is ending. The sun is almost not losing ground and still gives tourists a lot of warmth and light, but evenings are getting cooler, siesta times are shortening, and the amount of sunscreen used by sunbathers is significantly reduced. The markets of Lindos are filled with tons of fresh fruit, and the menu in the restaurants is replete with dishes made with seasonal vegetables and pleases with the first young wine.
Forecasters promise
The type of climate that shapes the weather on the Greek island of Rhodes is called Mediterranean. It is characterized not only by summer heat, but also by a rather hot beginning of autumn:
- In September, the weather in Lindos is still warm, and thermometers often show + 30 ° С even in the shade.
- Towards the end of the month, the temperature values approach more comfortable marks, stopping in the last decade at + 27 ° С in the afternoon.
- It gets much cooler at night than in summer, and a light sweater may be required for evening walks. Mercury columns in the dark can drop to + 20 ° C.
- Precipitation in September is unlikely, but sometimes a light rain does happen in the evening.
- In September, there is more often a little cloudiness, and the beach holiday becomes much more comfortable than at the height of summer.
With the arrival of September, the tourist flow to the sights resumes. Excursions to ancient ruins are gaining popularity again, but when buying such a tour, do not neglect the safety rules: drink enough fluids, use sunscreen, and try to rest in the shade more often.
Sea. September. Lindos
The sea traditionally cools more slowly than the air, and you can enjoy swimming in Lindos in September. The water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea, washing the shores of the resort, is + 25 ° С, and even higher in shallow waters - up to + 27 ° С. Almost the same temperatures in the water and in the sun make this time of year the most suitable for trips to Rhodes with babies.
