Elafonisi Monthly Climate Averages Across Temperature, Rainfall, Humidity, Wind, and Daylight

Elafonisi’s sampled mean temperature is 11.26 °C in February and 25.92 °C in August. Average daily precipitation measures 3.65 mm in December and 0.09 mm in July; relative humidity is 79.39% in January and 62.42% in July. Wind and daylight add further comparison to the NASA POWER 1991–2020 normals at one representative 234.53 m coordinate, not a live report, forecast, or reserve-wide guarantee.

Compare Elafonisi climate with complete monthly profiles from other parks

Elafonisi remains the baseline as other complete profiles reveal different annual temperature structures and monthly average precipitation rhythms. Reading humidity, wind speed, and daylight duration through the same calendar adds meaningful context, while the candidate order makes no promise of coastal similarity, geographic closeness, or equivalent conditions.
