The climate of Corfu (Greece)
Corfu is the most northern island of Greece and is a part of the
Ionic Islands in situated in the Ionian Sea. Corfu is located off the
coast of Albania. The capital of Corfu is Corfu city, also known as
Kerkyra. The north of the island is very rugged with hills and rocks
whilst the south of the island has a flat landscape. Paleokastritsa is
one of the most beautiful cities on Corfu. The city is situated on a
quiet bay and has a beautiful beach. The Achilleion palace can be
found on Corfu, which is empress Sissi’s palace. Corfu has a warm
Mediterranean climate which is a little colder than the climate on the
rest of Greece’s islands because of its northern location. Summers are
pleasantly warm and sometimes even hot. During the summer the average
amount of precipitation is low; long lasting rain never occurs during
this period. Winters are cold and pleasant. Subzero temperatures are
uncommon. During warm summer days a sea breeze is responsible for some
cooling.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
