Climate overview
Temperature
The monthly mean temperature is highest at 27.2 °C in August and lowest at 13.6 °C in January. These are monthly averages, not daytime highs or lows, so they give a general sense of the temperature pattern rather than the range visitors might experience within a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 19.9 °C. It summarizes the supplied monthly averages; it is not a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest at 3.90 mm/day in December, and lowest at 0.05 mm/day in August. These are average daily amounts, not monthly rainfall totals, and the lower figure does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall averages is 1.58 mm/day. It provides a summary across calendar months rather than a day-weighted annual figure.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest at 13.51 hours/day in June and lowest at 7.67 hours/day in December. These averages can help set expectations for outdoor daylight planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine averages is 10.51 hours/day per day, a broad summary that does not describe every day's conditions.
Snow
The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is 0.06 mm/day in January, and the unweighted mean across the monthly averages is 0.01 mm/day. These small mean amounts do not establish how many days snow falls, snow depth or snow cover, and they cannot indicate skiing conditions.
Best Travel Time Guide for Rhodes, Greece: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, August is the conditional option in the supplied figures, with mean daily rainfall of 0.05 mm/day; this does not guarantee dry days or quantify rain frequency. Pack with the higher-rainfall average in December in mind, where mean daily rainfall is 3.90 mm/day, rather than treating either average as a forecast. If cooler monthly averages are your priority, January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, 13.6 °C. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, the supplied mean daily duration is highest in June at 13.51 hours/day and lowest in December at 7.67 hours/day; these figures describe average sunshine duration, not guaranteed conditions or day length.
Snowfall averages are not a basis for planning snow-dependent activities: the highest monthly mean daily amount is 0.06 mm/day in January, but this does not show snowfall frequency, depth or cover. Treat all the monthly figures as planning context rather than a prediction for particular travel dates.
