In case you are tempted by warmer weather this late in October, you might like to know this morning’s temperature at just after “second coffee” time, ten o’clock is between 20 and 22 degrees in Crete – depending on which part of this large island you started the day.

Sometimes there is sunny weather in Crete – the southernmost island of size in Greece – on any given day in the winter. Worth a try…

Been mild – many days reaching 20-22 degrees centigrade during October and November and even the first 2 days of December have been generally sunny. Cold at night? Yes. Winter? Yes. But moments (many) to enjoy on a balcony or terrace, outdoors with light jacket sitting sipping coffee at a cafe…yes!

Just thought you’d all like to know.

From June 15 Crete has been supplied yet again with “full” on the temperature volume control.

Daily temperatures are 31-33 degrees with the nights straining to fall below 20 degrees (all in celsius).

Bright sun, that true, deep south Mediterannean feel, is with us again.
