Mykonos month by month
Plan your visit to Mykonos by month. Compare weather, crowds, events, and prices across all twelve months with historical climate data.
Mykonos runs on a simple binary. From June through September, average highs stay between 26 C and 29 C while rain falls on 1 day at most. July records 29 C and 0 rain days. The opposite end is January at 15 C and 10 rain days, the wettest month in the measured year. February drops to 14 C, the lowest average high, though it sees only 5 rain days. Between those poles, April reaches 19 C with 5 rain days and May climbs to 22 C with 3. October mirrors May at 22 C and 3 rain days. November turns back toward winter at 20 C and 7.
The 12 month guides beneath this index trace what shifts across that full cycle. For a summer trip, open July or August first. Both average 29 C, but July is the only month with 0 rain days. Shoulder-season visitors will find May and October nearly identical at 22 C and 3 rain days each. Winter travelers should start with January, where 10 rain days set the pace, or December at 9.
February's 14 C average high and January's 10 rain days are the two hardest readings for outdoor plans. December follows at 9 rain days, and March still averages 7.
July is Mykonos's decisive month, the only one in the measured year to record 0 rain days, at an average high of 29 C.
