Rhodes has a classic Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The best time for a beach holiday is June to September, when the live forecast above typically shows settled sunshine and sea temperatures above 23°C.
What is the weather like in Rhodes by month?
Summer (June–August) brings daily highs of 28–32°C and almost no rain, perfect for the coast. Spring (April–May) and autumn (October) are warm at 20–25°C, with fewer crowds. Winters (November–March) are mild, 12–17°C, but wetter and windier. For the most reliable sun, aim for June or September.
What to pack for Rhodes and best value travel
For summer, light cotton clothes, a hat, high-factor sun cream and a reusable water bottle are essential. A light jacket or cardigan is useful for evenings, even in high season. School holidays push up prices; May, June and September offer better value with fewer tourists. Check the 28 day weather forecast for Rhodes Greece before booking, but expect heatwaves in July and August.
Is Rhodes windy in summer?
Yes, the meltemi wind often blows from the north in July and August, which can feel refreshing on the east coast but makes the west coast choppier. It usually dies down by evening.
Does Rhodes rain much in June?
Very little. June averages only 5‑10mm of rain across the month, meaning you can expect long, dry days and clear skies. The live forecast above should confirm this pattern.
What is the best month for a quiet trip?
May or October. The weather in Rhodes 10 days out in May is warm (22–25°C) but the island is quieter, and accommodation is cheaper. October is still sunny but less crowded than September.
