Average daily tempreatures rise rapidly from the mid 60's at Easter time to the 90's during July and August.

The rise in temperature usually coincides with a drop in the wind - this is because the island is farther north than most of the Greek holiday island, and is sheltered from the prevailing winds by the mainland.

This results in the hot summer months being relatively sticky - and results too in a few too many mosquitos for the comfort of some.

Through late April, May and June, and then again in October, the weather on Thassos can be compared to a good British summer.
