Climate

Kiotari enjoys a warm all year-round Mediterranean climate. It has four distinct seasons throughout the year, differentiated by temperature and rainfall.

Summer

is the hottest time of year in Kiotari with warm temperatures with up to 14 hours of sunlight each day. Temperatures range from the pleasant high 20s zone to a hot 31°C, providing perfect weather for sunbathing upon its beautiful shingle beach. Rainfall or cloudy weather is a rarity during the summer months, especially in July and August and an occasional local shower quite an event. Summer can be a very hot time of year so visitors are advised to pack a high factor sun cream with them. The temperature rarely drops below 20°C even at night throughout the summer. Relief from the heat of the high summer comes to Kiotari in the form of the northwest Meltimi wind. This prevails from May till October and is strongest between July and September when it is most needed. Kiotari and South Rhodes receive the main benefit of the meltemi due to its location and topography.

Autumn

sees very pleasant temperatures. The sea is still warm enough for swimming, remaining above 20°C until late November. October has average daytime highs in the mid 20s and November in the low 20s. Temperatures don’t drop much below the mid teens even at night. The only negative point against an autumn visit is the increased chance of rain. However, October still only sees five rainy days on average and November seven. This is still low and the sun remains in ascendancy, but don’t be surprised if you get the odd downpour.

Winter

in Kiotari is mild but wet. On average, over 60% of the island’s annual rainfall falls between December and February. January is the wettest with 14 rainy days on average seeing 148mm of rain over the month. However, there are still many days when the weather is most favourable. A sunny day in December can see temperatures reaching up to 20°C. January and February are a little cooler but temperatures rarely drop too far into single figures. In general, Rhodes’ winters are more like a northern European spring, making it a popular place to escape the cold harsh winters of those regions.

Spring

has increasingly favourable weather conditions and reaps the rewards of the wet winter in terms of the blossoming landscape. Again, it’s much quieter than the busy summer months and temperatures are very comfortable. Things start to warm up again from March when average highs get into the high teens. By May daytime temperatures are in the mid 20s. Sunshine levels steadily climb and in May ten hours can be expected per day. March still sees a decent amount of rainfall, but it steadily decreases and by May rain is rare. A swim in the sea at this time can be a little bracing; the water doesn’t fully warm up until June. With temperatures ranging around 17 to 24°C, some days may be warm enough to spend lounging on Kiotari’s pretty shingle beach, soaking up the sunshine. With its pleasant climate, Kiotari is a beautiful place to spend one’s holidays. And with its selection of water sports, rays of sunshine, mini markets, restaurants, taverns and bars, there is something for all.
