Warm days, with humidity to consider

The usual July day is hot without necessarily being fiercely so: 83% of days reach 25°C, while only 4% reach 30°C. That makes July a reasonable choice if you enjoy warmth but are wary of very high temperatures, although hotter spells remain possible. Humidity averages 73%, so leave room for shade and breaks rather than filling the middle of the day with strenuous activity. Loose, breathable clothes are a sensible starting point. Evenings generally stay warm enough for light clothing, though a thin extra layer gives you flexibility on a cooler night. Choose accommodation where you can sleep comfortably in warm conditions.

Plenty of sunshine, but keep a rain fallback

With about 12 hours of sunshine a day, July gives you plenty of scope to spend time outdoors without treating every sunny spell as an opportunity you cannot miss. Plan active outings for the cooler parts of the day and use the brightest hours for a slower pace, shade or a break indoors. Rain is relatively infrequent, with about 3 rainy days during the month, but a completely dry stay is not guaranteed. A lightweight waterproof is more useful than packing for persistent wet weather. Keep outdoor plans flexible, and pack sunglasses, a hat and sun cream alongside your summer clothes.

Sea temperatures favour a swimming holiday

The sea averages 25.4°C in July, making swimming a strong reason to choose this month. The year-to-year range is 24°C to 26°C, so the water is generally warm rather than bracing. If cold water usually puts you off, July is a sensible time to consider the coast. Pack swimwear and something light to cover up with afterwards, while keeping sun protection close at hand. Water temperature alone does not tell you about waves or local swimming conditions, so check those before getting in. For a holiday built around swimming and unhurried outdoor time, the weather is a good fit.
