## Greece Weather in July

July is one of the hottest, sunniest months in Greece — great for beach‑time but you’ll want to plan around the heat.

- Daytime highs typically reach **88 °F (31 °C)** on the islands and coastal areas.
- In cities like Athens, highs can climb to **95 °F (35 °C)** or more on hot days.
- Night‑time lows often stay around **72 °F (22 °C)** in many coastal areas.
- Rainfall is very low — often just a few millimetres for the month; many regions see almost no rain.
- Sea temperatures are very comfortable — around **77 °F (25 °C)** or higher, making swimming inviting.

Because of the intense heat and strong sunlight, midday can feel especially hot on the mainland or in inland areas. 

**What to keep in mind:**  
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water — and maybe plan your sightseeing or hikes for early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less direct. Also consider choosing islands or coastal spots with good sea breezes.
