The seasonality of the hydrometeorologic characteristics of floods that occurred in Crete during the period 1990–2007 is presented. Hydrological characteristics were analyzed using seasonality indices based on a dataset of 53 daily precipitation stations as well as 15 daily and 7 monthly recording flow stations. The atmospheric circulation conditions during the flood events were examined based on a joint subjective classification and meteorological analysis. The flood event-based seasonality was found to coincide with the seasonality of the daily precipitation maxima of November and December. The seasonality of the three largest long term daily precipitation maxima indicates that 50% of the maximum precipitation events occur from November to January (NDJ period). Analysis showed that the maximum annual stream flows in Crete are lagging by approximately 1 month from annual maximum daily precipitation in the region. The circulation type classification of the flood events showed that most of the weather systems occurring in the Mediterranean and passing over Crete have SW, NW and W direction. For the majority of the events, a common mean sea level pressure gradient field was observed over Europe. This comparison of the seasonality of selected hydrometeorologic characteristics reveals valuable information within the context of flood occurrence.
