Will update tomorrow as I drink my frappe overlooking the beach at my place of work, overlooking the beach, sea and pool bar - LOL its a hard life but someone has to do it......... see you all soon & a quick update this evening the wind is dropping so looking forward to some higher temps in the morning here....oh yeh and fireflies this evening back in the village now (Avliotes) xxxxx

Wednesday 11.00 hours - slight drop in the wind however think its changed direction as it is now feels a lot cooler wind.  Some brave are sunbathing, I've got a jacket on today however.  Skies not as clear today blue bits but cloud cover. Sea calmer but after all the winds the poor beach has loads of sea weed, think Mr Tractor man is fighting a real battle so far this early part of the summer.
TV forecast is for warmer weather towards end of week........

Thursday 20.00 hrs - Delay in writing this as was hoping for the sun to break though which it didn't.  So today it was warmer due to very little wind but low grey cloud cover, never saw the sun and there was a few tiny tiny spots of sand type rain other than that it was an ideal day for walking and exploring which many of our guests told me they did......

Great reports Lesley, much better than reading the data from Corfu Airport!

Weather should pick up this weekend as the cool northerly flow is cut off and the wind swings round to the south.

Looking back I cant believe how lucky Gill and I were over Greek Easter, 9 days and only two afternoons with cloud, some days were like high summer!

Cant wait to return in July.

Friday 17th May - well well that was some downpour early hours of morning, high winds blew my village shutters open.  However after going back to sleep and awaking for morning coffee - the sun has finally broken through, the wind has changed direction and is from the south with sand particles/dust from Africa. So summary - warm winds, pleasant temps approx. 24c, sky blue with sun partially shaded.

Beach must have been cleared very early morning as it is looking good, all seaweed cleared away however the rows of sunbeds not out as yet.

Forecast as Andy's says looking good - if the wind drops tomorrow we should see high temps again top 20's.........

Thanks for the update Lesley couldn't believe they had cleaned the beach so quickly this morning

Family living in Skiathos say no sun beds on beach there yet.Apparently licences had to be applied for last week perhaps the same goes for Corfu.Hope they are there for our arrival on June 10th .I hate sitting on sand and struggling to get back up !!!!
