What is the weather like in Mykonos?

Please be advised that the the weather in Mykonos is typical Mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers. From April to September, the weather is bright and sunny. Rainfall is rare; for that reason, the island uses tankers to supply its population and tourists with water. There are occasionally strong north winds (meltemia) throughout the year. The daily average temperature ranges from 9.5 °C (49 °F) in January to 28 °C (83 °F) in July.
April gets appreciably warmer. It is definitely not a month for enjoying the beaches, though.
May is sunny and warm in the main, but that depends on the year. May is maybe the best month to go to the island and all the Greek islands.
From June to August, it almost never rains and the maximum temperature can reach 35/36 °C (95/97 °F), especially in July and August. Fortunately, due to Mykonos being an island, hence surrounded by the sea, a certain level of humidity will keep the night cooler. Also, many winds during August (called Meltemia) come from the North and make the temperature cooler.
In September the temperature of the sea is still convenient for swimming as the waters have absorbed the sunlight’s warmth during summer. It constitutes definitely one of the best months to visit Mykonos. Even when it rains, it is very unlikely to rain for days to an end but during the day or night leaving plenty of time to engage in indoor and outdoor activities in the resort or around the island.
During October, the climate chills even more. Depending on the year, the weather can be good but can also get rainy sometimes.
