🏊 Swimmable sea this month (≥22°C)
Zakynthos sits along the Mediterranean in Greece, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the June peak reaches a 99/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 31°C — a solid base for a coastal escape.
July is the heat peak, averaging 33°C highs; January is the cool end, when nights dip to around 10°C. The wet–dry contrast is pronounced: 43% rain-day odds in November against 2% in July. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on May–September.
The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 32°C against winter's 15°C, while rain-day odds move from 36% in winter and 24% in spring to 6% in summer and 30% through autumn. In short: plan around summer if you can, keep spring as the fallback, and go into winter with managed expectations (its season score is 58). For warmth without the densest crowds, the shoulder play is September: still 28°C highs, with a sun score of 92.
