The prevailing wind in the Summer is the Meltemi blowing from the NE. The Meltemi begins fitfully in June, blows strongest in July and August, and dies at the end of September and October. In July and August it blows at Force 4-6 and may reach Force 7 on occasion. In the Spring and Autumn the wind is again predominantly from the N (NE-NW) but there are regular winds from the south as well.
There are a number of local variations to the overall weather pattern. In the Trikeri and Orei Channels, the wind is funneled into the channel so that it blows from the E-ENE. In the Gulf of Volos a NW wind, Force 2-5, often blows down the valley at the head of the gulf in the Spring and Autumn. There may also be southerlies, which can also blow in the Summer months. Care must be taken of gusts off high land when the Meltemi is blowing.
In Summer the temperatures are high and in the Spring and Autumn there may be rain showers and thunderstorms. The latter may be accompanied by squalls, but they are normally short-lived affairs, usually over in 2 hours or so.
Early and late season it is cold in the evenings, and it is recommended to take something waterproof as the spray is cold. This area is a lot windier than the Ionian and has good winds from 12pm until 6pm each day. Winds are lighter in May and October.
