The weather for Crete will be mild for the time period of late October and early November. Our vacation week will be at the very beginning of their rainy season. We've researched the historic weather patterns for the city of Iraklion, Crete with respect to our anticipated time period of October 27th through November 3rd, 2006. The month of October has a temperature range of 63-75 degrees and 6 rain days (81% chance of dry weather). The month of November has a temperature range of 57-70 degrees and 11 rain days ( 67% chance of dry weather). If you average the two since we'll be straddling the two months during our Crete vacation pre-marathon week, we would have an anticipated temperature range of 60-73 degrees and a 74% probability of dry weather.
