Recent weather cool?

[Jeff Winchell]

I've been watching the Chania and Rethymnon weather pages on http://wunderground.com and I've noticed the past 2 weeks they are running cooler than average for this time of year. I'm going to be arriving early next week and I'm hoping it will be warmer than a high of 62 F about every day (though I see occasionally it gets into the low 70's).

Is anyone currently in Plakias and if so is it 5-10 degrees F warmer than what it's been on those northern Crete cities? Or has it been unseasonably cooler than typical Plakias temperatures these past few weeks?

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

I use Yahoo. You get a 10 day forecast. Click here.

You can easily change to Celsius if you are "metric".

Hello again Jeff,

On studying the temps on Yahoo I would say they are about typical for Greek Islands at the end of April. Good walking weather, still warm enough for sitting outside (bars, tavernas, etc), and beach. Will be significantly warmer in a month's time.

I was wondering how much regional variation there is for the 3 major cities vs. Plakias. Just looking at the major cities, there's a 10 degree F difference on the same day in different cities. From my casual glancing and memory, it appears that Iraklion is warmer than Chania which is warmer than Rethymnon. And I don't know where that puts Plakias.

Yeah. Though for me, a month later is when I leave Plakias. I guess I'm looking for the averages I saw for Crete in May (60's at night, 70's in the day), which is perfect for me. Still, even if it's just low 60's, that's warmer than where I am now.

in my experience the south coast weather is usually different to the north coast, many times we have had rain in the north headed off south and been sunbathing in the afternoon
