Corfu weather overview

Corfu is the principal of the islands which lie in the Ionian Sea, the deepest part of the Mediterranean, and is more sheltered from the wind but experiences more rain than the islands of the Aegean. The winter months here are very rainy indeed; in fact, Corfu is the wettest part of Greece, and this rainfall makes the island one of the lushest and most beautiful in Greece.

Not for Corfu the scorched scrubbiness which afflicts other parts of Greece; this island's lush, rain-fed vegetation gives it a positively sub-tropical feel. Even the winds are gentler here: Corfu does not fall prey to the strong northerly winds which can rage through the Aegean, a mixed blessing since it means that conditions on the island can be more sultry than elsewhere during the heat of the summer.

At summer's end, the stickiness increases when the island falls under the sleepy spell of the Sirocco, a warm wind which brings high humidity in its wake and ushers in the beginning of the rains.
