The Greek islands enjoy a warm and sunny Mediterranean climate and weather.
Everywhere the summers are hot and dry with brilliant light and clear skies. Temperatures are in the 80s, tempered only by the northern winds which can blow fiercely for days at a time in August. Many people go in spring when the sun is more temperate. Winters are generally mild but islands can have snow and, when it does rain, it tips it down in buckets.
