Weather
Corfu, Greece
Corfu keeps the bright travel-day motif today: partly sunny early around 21C, then high thin cloud and a warm afternoon near 29C. It is a sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and light-layer day for packing and check-out. Rome looks sunny and hotter on arrival, around 31C, though Lazio has an afternoon thunderstorm warning, so keep an eye on alerts if plans run late or outdoors.
