Weather
Corfu, Greece
Corfu is keeping the sunny-island motif going today: clear and dry, around 23C this morning and rising to about 28C, with essentially no rain risk. For boat day and beach-hopping, go hard on sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and a hat; the breeze looks light to moderate, with the stronger little gusts most likely in the afternoon, so a shirt or cover-up for the boat is sensible.
