    Heraklion weather July

    What’s the weather like in Heraklion in July?

    If you’re looking for a beautiful resort in the sunny Greek island of Crete this summer, then Heraklion could be perfect for you. The Heraklion weather in July makes it the hottest and driest time of the year, with bags of sunshine and warm temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea.

    Geographical influences

    Heraklion’s found around the golden shores of Crete’s northern shoreline, between the busy resorts of Elounda and Rethymnon. The weather here is ever so slightly cooler and wetter than resorts in the south of the island. This is because Crete’s central hills block some of the northerly winds from travelling across the land. Most visitors enjoy these cooling winds in hot months such as July.

    Averages

    The weather in Heraklion in July is very warm, with an average temperature of 29°C. The heat drops to around 20°C in late evening and at night. Even the coldest days shouldn’t go below this. Glorious sunshine bakes Heraklion for most of the month, with around 14 hours of sunshine each day and the sun not setting until 8.40pm for most of July. The sea temperature reaches a balmy 25°C and is the perfect place to get refreshed from the heat. Rainfall is incredibly low at just 1mm, so it’ll be a surprise to see any rainfall at all in Heraklion this month. Take care in the sun as obviously UV levels are at their peak.
