Mykonos weather

The best months to visit Mykonos are May, June, July, August. Mid-June meltemi winds ease briefly before July peak; Panagia Tourliani feast on July 23 fills Ano Mera village with actual Cycladic tradition tourists miss.

July runs the highest averages in Mykonos, with typical daytime highs of 28°C (83°F). August meltemi hits 60kmh from north; south beaches like Paradise get calm water while north beaches close, and locals hide from 2-6pm siesta.

January brings the lowest averages, with daytime highs near 14°C (57°F). January most restaurants closed, Little Venice deserted, half the island shut but Delos tours cheap and Chora walkable without cruise crowds.

January typically records the highest monthly rainfall — around 77mm on average. November-February wet season brings 3-day storms; ferries from Piraeus cancel routinely and the airport closes when meltemi combines with rain.

Mykonos, Greece has warm summers, mild winters. The Chora windmills are five, not one, and the actual sunset spot is Little Venice steps not the windmill hill. Ano Mera village inland is real Mykonian life with Panagia Tourliani monastery and one taverna where locals eat kopanisti spread. Skip Nammos beach club unless bottle service is your vibe; go to Fokos beach for grilled octopus at the only shack there. The wind has a direction language: meltemi from north means south beaches, sirocco from south means north beaches. You can read the detailed month-by-month breakdown on this page.
