Santorini is a small volcanic island in the Aegean Sea with a Mediterranean climate. This is Greece, after all! 🙂

Our island always has very mild winters, and the summers are extremely dry and very hot. On a clear day, you can literally see the whole of Santorini in the palm of your hand, despite the size of the island and the weather.

Are you already on the island? Check the weather in Santorini for today or tomorrow, as well as the current sea temperature at the island’s beaches.

Are you preparing for your holiday? To plan your trip to our island effectively, you can check the weather forecast in Santorini for 14 days in advance or review the weather statistics from previous years to study the weather by month throughout the year. We are here to assist you!

Current weather in Santorini

Our greek meteorologists are reporting that the weather in Santorini today, December 13, 2024 is capricious: it is partly cloudy and a little bit cool, air temperature at the current moment is about +17°C.

Atmospheric pressure is slightly above normal limits and is 1028 hPa, relative air humidity is about 58% and wind speed is about 6 m/s with possible gusts to 11 m/s.

Given the wind, humidity and other parameters, it feels like +13°C in Santorini right now.

The time of sunrise in Santorini today is 07:21 and the time of sunset is 17:03.

UV index at the current moment is below normal and equals 2.7. Remember that the UV index shows the level of ultraviolet radiation and the possible danger of exposure to sunlight: 0-2 points correspond to low levels, while 11 points and more correspond to extremely high levels. It seems that sunscreen is not necessary at this time, even for people with very sensitive fair skin.

A little bit below we will tell you about the cloudiness over the island, as well as additionally show you what the sea water temperature is on the beaches.

The map shows current weather conditions across the island in a brief and schematic manner:

 

Water temperature in Santorini: sea and beaches at the moment

Now the average temperature of the sea on the beaches of Santorini is +18°C...+19°C — only the brave go in for a swim!

Living on the island and observing the water temperature in Santorini revealed a little secret: the water on the black beach right by the shore is noticeably warmer than on the red and white beaches, for example 🙂 The conclusion is pretty obvious: black sand always heats up faster.

 

We have collected more information about sea temperatures on a separate page.

Winds in Santorini: real time measurement

Since our island is very small and there are no high mountains, the weather in Santorini is mainly determined by the winds. The island literally blows right through!

The winds in Santorini can be very strong, and they can, without exaggeration, knock you off your feet during several months of the year. Please refer to the related materials for more information. For now, let’s examine the map that displays the current wind conditions in Santorini.

The map has a standard orientation with north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right. The wind strength is indicated by colour: violet represents almost no wind, turquoise and blue indicate a light breeze of about 3-5 meters per second, green represents winds of about 10 meters per second, while orange and red indicate strong winds of up to 20 meters per second. Purple on the map indicates a hurricane with winds blowing at 25 meters per second or faster!

14-day weather forecast for Santorini

Weather is a fickle thing, and it’s even more important to predict it correctly! It is difficult to give a weather forecast for a month in advance, and in this sense it is better to refer to the statistics of previous years. For the near future, changes on the island will be minimal over the next 7-14 days. Please refer to our forecast for the next two weeks for more details:
