Sunshine and winds

Mykonos is famous both for its long sunny spells (frequently as many as 300 days of sunshine a year) and its winds. In the winter months, winds from the south such as the Sirocco bring red rain, the result of red sand from deserts bordering the Mediterranean. The winds that help to cool the island in the summer are northerly and include the Meltami.
