Weather & Climate:
The weather in Corfu differs from the rest of the Greek Islands and Mainland Greece. While it is sunny, warm and dry in the summer, the winter months are characterized by a fair amount of rainfall and humidity, although they are quite mild as well. The humidity and rainfall are what make Corfu, and the rest of the Ionian Islands, lush with vegetation. As Corfu weather tends to be a little cooler than other regions of Greece, it is recommended that visitors have a light jacket handy in the evening.
In July and August, the prevailing wind is the Mistral, which is a calm, north-western wind.
