Kefalonia is greener than the Aegean islands because its winters are much wetter. Between November and January it rains on around 13 to 15 days a month, while July and August are almost dry. Highs in Argostoli average about 23°C in May, 27°C in June and 29–30°C in July and August, then roughly 27°C in September and 23°C in October. The sea near Fiskardo is about 19°C in May and 23°C in June, warmest at around 26–27°C in August and still near 25°C in September.
Plan around the season, which is short in the north of the island around Fiskardo. Emelisse closes from October to April, and direct UK flights mostly run from May to September, outside which you would connect through Athens.
June and September are the best months, with sea warm enough for long swims, and less crowded beaches and coves than in the school holidays. July and August bring the most heat and the most visitors.
