A bright, but chilly, morning with the sun up and a few white clouds around a nd Albania more visible than of late. At 8am it was 10.5c with a light breeze.
Yesterday morning the rains, sometimes heavy continued almost continuously until 2.30 pm, the sea was lightly choppy with small waves breaking on the beach. Surprisingly by 2.45 pm the sun was out and the temperature quickly rose to a maximum of 17.3c. The clouds were back before sunset and heavy rains began again at 5.45pm until about 7.30pm. Thereafter the clouds slowly thinned to give a dry night with plenty of stars visible.

Lots of white fluffy clouds filled the morning skies, Albania again invisible early as the sun rose giving us sunny intervals. At 10am it was 14.8c. Between blood test and results at vets for dogs we strolled on the beach road, very pleasant in polo shirt, light waves rolling in and a very light breeze.
Yesterday as the day progressed the clouds thinned and the sun shone, out in Corfu Town it was very pleasant, crowded in old town as 2 cruise liners in port. On the way home we stopped for bread and a coffee and there was a light shower. The sun soon returned and we maxed at 20.0c. Evening was mild and followed by a partial starlit night.
The minimum temperature was 10.2c.

This morning we have near 90% clouds, high and thin but thicker to the north, a light breeze and haze so you can just make out part of the Albanian coast. The sea looks grey and it is 14.2c at 9.30am.
Yesterday continued to improve as the day passed, though light clouds remained on the shoulders of the peaks of Pantokrator. In the sun it was very pleasant and the temperature reached 20.5c. The sunset was nothing to admire due to the haze and cloud, the evening mild with many bats flying around. The first few fireflies were also dancing over my garden. As night fell so we had an early site of the moon and some stars but as time passed so they gradually dissappeared.
The minimum temperature was 12.3c.

Today it is much cooler than of recent but there aee only clouds over Albania and over the sea in the distance. The winds have dropped and the sea looks calmer. The sun is out but it eas only 10.7c at 9am.
Yesterday remained mostly cloudy with the odd sunny interval, it was windy with strong gusts having the washing fly horizontally on the line but drying quickly. There were a few tourists on the beach, children playing in sand ignoring the winds. As a result it felt cooler than the maximum of 17.8c unless you were sheltered. The sea was choppy with whitetops and small waves rolling in. Evening saw the wind drop along with the temperature and after nightfall the clouds started to move and the stars appear.
The minimum temperature was 13.1c.

A very bright clear morning, with next to no cloud, Albania much clearer than of late, a slight chill but only a little breeze. At 8am it was 10.7c.
Yesterday was a lovely sunny day with clouds mainly in the distance, later over hills and passing. In the afternoon the wind picked up again and was very gusty at times. If in the eind it felt colder but in shelter it was warm. The maximum was 21.0c. A lovely yellow sunset followed by the clouds on the horizon, orange on top, then darker to purple and grey nearest the sea. As night fell so we had a starlit night, the winds having gone but it was still chilly.
The minimum temperature was 8.7c.

A very similar start to yesterdsy with a bit more haze and slightly warmer being 11.4c at 8am.
Yesterday was glorious, a maximum of 21.4c on my balcony. I was in Town for Palm Sunday and there it was showing 24c but felt warmer sat on the Liston. By afternoon you could see some had reddish skin where they had overlooked the need for sun lotion. The locals in their finery still wearing suits, jackets the ladies jackets, thick jumpers or large knitted shawls. The children in their best. Returning home late afternoon the sun was still warm and a glorious sunset followed. A starlit night and an almost full moon.
The minimum temperature was 10.3c.

Another lovely sunny and still morning but very hazy and Albania almost invisible. 14.4c at 9am.
Yesterday was a lovely sunny day but late afternoon light grey thundery looking clouds built up to the east and southeast, not affecting the sun. The maximum temperature was 24.1c. The clouds did not result in any rain but as they passed we only saw fleeting glimpses of the stars. Again the sea was very flat. There seemed to be an increase in the number of tourists with several apartments having early guests and Theodoras also being open with a few sat in the sun. The minimum temperature was 13c.

Easter weekend is starting with a few high, thin white clouds and haze, although you can make out the grey outline of Albania. No breeze and the sun up.
Yesterday was another lovely sunny day, a light breeze in the afternoon being most welcome. The maximum was 23.5c. A mild still early starlit night, my dogs going crazy in garden. I discovered the reason, a giant bull toad sat on a tree stump. Once moved on his way all was quiet apart from a Scops Owl.
The minimum temperature was 13c.

Well it more the same today but it is more hazy and humid. Not a cloud to be seen and a very light breeze. Must get the gardening jobs done as rain forecast late Sunday and again early next week.
Yesterday was again a lovely sunny day with the odd this white cloud around. Some on the beach where the flat sea saw children again playing in the shallows. A light breeze came in the afternoon. The maximum was 24.3c and as evening became night it became more humid. It was still 18c when the Procession of the Holy Bier left Sfakera church and 16.2c at midnight with a lovely starlit sky.
The minimum temperature was again 13c and has been very constant for the last few days.

Kala Pascha, Happy Easter, this fine sunny, hazy morning but with a light wind. It is cloudless unless you west towards Paleo, Sidari was where you can see a bank of white fluffy clouds. Forecast told everyone to do spit roasts early as rain expected mid afternoon - we will see.
Yesterday was again a fine sunny day with a very light breeze early afternoon and excellent for the Procession and pot smashing in Town. Locally the sea was flat, the haze thinned a little during the day. In the afternoon there was a thin layer of very high cloud, not stopping the sun. The maximum was 24.1c. Evening was mild and starlit and still 19c at 11pm.
The minimum temperature was 13c.

The clouds are still here this morning which meant we had a very mild night. Albania much clearer even though topped by cloud. There are breaks in the cloud, which is thinning so the sun is getting through.
Yesterday the cloud thickened and there was a gusty wind. It was very humid but the rains stayed away. We had sun until early afternoon but only the odd glimpse thereafter. The maximum was 23.8c.
The minimum temperature was 13.9c.
