Despite the pleasant sea breezes and low air humidity, the weather in Crete in July is not suitable for everyone. At the height of summer, the "high season" begins, which only true fans of a star named the Sun manage to master. In all senses, a hot time at the island's resorts will require considerable material costs from guests. In the height of summer, prices for hotels, restaurant services, souvenirs and entertainment traditionally rise. Discounts can be obtained only on excursions, but walks under the scorching sun are not particularly popular.
Forecasters promise
Unlike historical and educational programs, sea excursions are a hit of entertainment at the height of summer in Crete. In July, the weather provides especially comfortable conditions for relaxing on the open sea, where it is always a few degrees cooler thanks to the fresh breeze. On the ground, Cretan July looks much hotter:
- More than + 30 ° C on thermometers in the morning? These are still flowers, because the afternoon heat often exceeds the 35-degree mark. It gets cooler only early in the morning and before sunset - up to + 25 ° С.
- Nighttime thermometer readings seem more comfortable - from + 25 ° C to + 22 ° C in the evenings and in the morning, respectively.
- There is no need to wait for precipitation in July, and therefore the low air humidity helps to endure the heat a little more comfortably.
- Browning in the sun in search of the perfect tan, pale-faced Europeans find themselves in the hands of the wind. Changed to the north, it carries sea coolness instead of the hot breath of Africa.
Solar radiation and excess ultraviolet radiation are offset by the solid SPF values in tanning creams. The weather strongly recommends using them during your July holiday in Crete. Do not forget about clean water, which should be drunk throughout the day.
Seas in Crete
The water temperature in the middle of summer reaches its highest value. The Cretan Sea warms up to + 25 ° С. The Aegean and Libyan show in their waters not less than + 24 ° C, and therefore swimming in the resorts of the island becomes very comfortable, but at the same time remains refreshing.
