In
general, from June to August rainfall is rare. Expect the dry, sunny
days of a Mediterranean climate. In the Aegean during the summer months
and especially in August, strong winds are common. These "Meltemi" winds,
blow from north to south usually starting around noon. The meltemi wind
starts suddenly and can blow continuously 4-5-6 days. So, if you prefer
calmer waters for swimming, its usually best to go to beaches on the
south side of the islands on days when the Meltemi is strong.
