Weather in Skopelos 

WEATHER DURING TOURIST SEASON 
  • The tourist season is usually defined as May to October, with sunny and dry weather and clear skies. 
  • A cool and soothing breeze accompanies the rising heat during August. 
  • Being mountainous, the island offers many sheltered beaches, no matter which direction the wind blows. For example, you can try southerly beaches when there is a northerly wind or vice versa. 
  • For those of you who enjoy big 'ocean' waves and surfing, try the northern beaches on a north wind day.

WEATHER DURING OFF SEASON 
  • The climate is usually rainy from November to February, but not continuously. There will always be sunny days in between the rainy ones, so one is never bored. 
  • March is unpredictable - although you can expect about 7 hours of sunshine a day, rather less rain and the average temperature can occasionally rise to 18°C (65°F) or higher. 
  • April signals the real beginning of spring and can be both rainy and sunny. It has the advantage of being much warmer, maybe not for swimming but at least for sunbathing on the island's sheltered beaches. However, some hardy souls even head to the beaches for a dip in the sea. 
  • During the winter and early spring months, the southern and western beaches are known for temperatures that are above those of the town. 
  • You will be surprised to know that it can even snow in Skopelos. This varies from year to year and has proven to be an enjoyable and amazing experience for adults and children alike.

Herring Gulls - creatures of shorelines

-
Image
Although generally thought of as marine creatures, gulls are really creatures of shorelines. Omnivorous, opportunistic scavengers, the proliferation of open garbage dumps has provided more than ample feeding grounds for such familiar species as the herring gull. This has led to a great increase in their numbers.

The remote islands of the Sporades

-
Image
The Sporades, off the coast of Greece, are a line of islands stretching out into North Aegean. Once a refuge for pirates, known variously as Satan's Islands, Demon Islands, Thieves' Dens and the islands of the Magnesians, the Northern Sporades - literally meaning 'scattered' - with their dramatic changes from island to island, strange geological forms and historical remains, are among Greece's most delightful secrets.  The three islands nearest the mainland, Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos, are generally well known to visitors. However the islands further out are not so well known and retain the feel and charm of an older era. This area is well known to flotilla and other yacht sailors for whom it provides a quieter cruising area than the Ionian, the busier counterpart on the Greek west coast.  A constellation of glittering jewels scattered across the Aegean Sea, the Sporades are some of Northern Greece's best-kept secrets.⁠ Beyond Alonnisos there are: Perister
