Let’s also take a brief look at the rest of the weather you can expect. We hope you’re not too fond of rain, for you’ll see practically none in Rhodes in the summer. The island is a part of the hot dry Mediterranean climate, so summers are desert-like. You likely won’t see a single instance of rain in August.

Days in August are long, at 13 hours of daylight a day – it also hits that perfect ratio of 13 hours of sunshine a day! The only thing saving you from the heat in Rhodes is the blessed Meltemi wind, which is typically strongest in July and August.
