By month
10 of the 23 destinations the atlas holds in Greece are in season in April.
The recorded main wind is a named regional wind (the meltemi) at 5 and a thermal sea breeze at 3. The highest modelled share of windy days in April is 67% at Karpathos - Afiartis; the share is known for 8 of the 10. 8 of them have a spot that takes beginners.
Showing all 10 destinations.
modelled windy
The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts April at half its days or more with three or more hours over 12 knots. That share is enough on its own: a spot here may or may not also name April among its best months.
riders' months
A spot names April among its best months while the model reads under half. Both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.
no series
No spot at the destination carries a usable modelled series, so the months are the ones riders and schools name.
2 destinations
A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of April days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming April among its best months.
