Weather in Chania


Chania has two main seasons: a dry, hot summer from May to October and a damp, rainy winter from November to April which is characterized as cold, but not frosty with frequent showers.
The weather in April is sweet and pleasant and few are the times when the sunlight is suddenly replaced by light rain. In October it rarely rains, the weather is still warm and mild and a dip in the sea is still a pleasant one. May and September months are usually sunny, but not excessively warm. June and July are the hottest months every year and without rainfalls.
In fact another important characteristic of the region is that sea temperatures in southern coast during winter and northern Europe in summer are almost the same. Consequently, winter swimming has gained in popularity in recent years. During the period from January to the end of February, the Crete mountains winters are quite harsh and it is always snowing.
