Chania, Greece

Chania sits in the Mediterranean basin in Greece, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the June peak reaches a 100/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 28°C — a solid base for a sand-and-sea holiday.

Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 15°C (January) and 30°C (July). Rain is most likely in December, when about 39% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in July (5%). The genuinely warm window — average highs of 24°C or better — covers June–September.

Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 20°C highs with 21% rain-day odds, summer 29°C at 6%, autumn 24°C at 22%, and winter 16°C at 36%. That makes summer the statistical sweet spot (season score 100), with autumn a workable second; winter is where the odds thin out. A practical compromise is June — the edge of the warm window, averaging 28°C with a 100 sun score.
