Best time to visit Pátra

May is the best month in Pátra, scoring 89 out of 100, with August the weakest at 48. The 41-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

July is the warmest month at 36 °C and January the coolest at 12.8 °C — a 23.2 °C spread across the year. Around 104 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. January and December carry the rain — up to 14 wet days in a month — while June to August drop as low as 3. That 11-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Pátra, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in June to October — 26.6 °C at its warmest against 15.5 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 9.5 hours in winter to 14.8 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are May, April, October. The one to think twice about is August. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
