Each bar is one summer, 2006 to 2025, and the red one is the windiest. A windy day is one that reached 5 Beaufort or more at some point between 10:00 and 20:00. Visitors are compared with the August peak.

How these numbers were measured
A windy day is one that reached 5 Beaufort or more at some point between 10:00 and 20:00. The record comes from ERA5, the European weather archive run by Copernicus, and covers 2006 to 2025. Milos has no airport anemometer in our records, so you see one figure. Sea temperature comes from Copernicus satellite records, 1995 to 2024, about 5 km offshore, so shallow bays run warmer. Visitor figures are official overnight stays for 2024 and 2025, so they leave out day trippers and cruise passengers. These are typical values, not a forecast for any single day.
