In the mountains of Crete winters are
quite harsh and it is always snowing during the period
from January to the end of February.
Autumn is the mildest season in Crete Island because
the temperatures are often higher that in spring and
lower than in summer time and there is a lot of sunshine.
Because the island of Greece is very mountainous, the
changes of weather can be sudden and the mountains,
creating a weather-barrier are creating different weather
conditions in northern and southern Crete.
This table provides the climate / weather average of the area
of Heraklion which is located on the north coast of
Crete.
The southern coast is usually a couple of Celsius warmer
but the water temperature is similar.
The eastern part of Crete Island is less rainy, contrary
to the northern and north-eastern part.
