Skiathos warms up later than the southern Greek islands. Highs average around 22°C in May, 27°C in June and 29°C in July and August, according to 1991–2020 climate normals, before easing to about 26°C in September and 21°C in October. Winters are cool and fairly wet, at around 12–13°C by day, with December the wettest month at about 95mm.
Sea temperature is the main reason to aim for summer. The water is typically only around 19°C in May but reaches 23°C in June, 26–27°C in July and August and is still about 25°C in September. September is the month we would pick: warm water, highs in the mid-20s and pleasant conditions for walking the pine-covered hills or taking a boat round the island.
Outside summer, the island largely shuts down. Most hotels, tavernas and shops run from around late May to early October, so a winter week here means limited dining and few places open.
