Warm sea, humid days and little cooling at night

The heat is steady rather than extreme: average daytime highs are 28.4°C, and just 3% of days reach 30°C. The catch is humidity of 83%, so modest-looking temperatures can still feel sticky, particularly when you are active. Loose, lightweight clothing makes more sense than heavy fabrics, and air conditioning is a sensible accommodation priority. Nights average 25.3°C, offering little relief from the daytime warmth; do not expect evenings to feel cool. The sea also averages 28.4°C, making swimming a clear attraction for travellers who dislike chilly water. That warmth is a reason to consider August, but it does not cancel out the limitations of a wet-weather beach holiday.

Plan around rain, not guaranteed sunshine

About 24 days have measurable rain, so a flexible approach to outdoor plans is essential. That does not mean it rains continuously, but the figures do not support treating rain as an occasional inconvenience either. Sunshine averages just 2.4 hours within 12.4 hours of daylight: long days are not the same as long sunny spells. Bring a compact umbrella or lightweight waterproof, and choose accommodation where you would be comfortable spending time during wet weather. Avoid building the holiday around uninterrupted beach days. August is a reasonable choice if warm conditions matter more than clear skies, but a weaker fit if your main aim is sunshine after a UK summer.
