Rainfall is almost non-existent in summer but showers can be expected between October and April.The island's weather is typical of the region, meaning it's largely Mediterranean, with the odd influence from North African climes. Visitors usually enjoy the temperate weather, though it can be oppressive and quite overwhelming for some.Mykonos is packed during the peak summer season. Spring and early autumn are less busy and the weather is milder. The water is also warm enough for swimming.
