Anyone in the Ionian at the mo? I have just checked the weather site and it is stating temperatures well into the 90's for the next few days..Is it as hot as this?

My boat has just crossed Greece to Athens. Tempretures well up right across, athens easily 35/36c. Very very hot and humid.

Was pretty hot last month and the hottest we've known was 42.5c in Zakynthos a couple of years ago.
After all it IS Greece!
Most Brits leave their boats alone for July & August. We are going out next on 15th September and will probably find the portlight seals welded to the perspex.
The eerie time is the end of October when the water is warmer than the air.

Have you tried www.poseidon.ncmr.gr/ , excellent site for a three day look ahead, especially good with detail on the winds since it shows where the wind channels around headlands and islands.
You'll also note that it is always cooler at sea. Common sense really. The water temperature doesn't get above 25C, so if there's a reqsonably long sea track for the wind, you'll be cool. If it's come off land, it could be like sitting in a hair dryer at 40 to 44c!
