Winter into spring: mild afternoons, cool evenings
December, January and February average 15°C by day, so winter is better for walking than lying out in swimwear. Nights fall to 7°C in January and 8°C in December and February; bring a jacket rather than relying on light holiday clothes. Each winter month averages 6 rainy days, so keep plans flexible. March lifts daytime temperatures to 18°C, though evenings remain cool. April reaches 20°C and May 23°C, making late spring a useful compromise if summer heat puts you off. The catch is the sea: it averages 16°C in April and 18°C in May, so warm air does not yet mean comfortable swimming for everyone. Layers remain useful after sunset, even as afternoons become warm enough for lighter clothing.
Summer: the strongest choice for sun and swimming
June brings a clear shift towards beach weather: days average 27°C, the sea reaches 22°C and rain is infrequent. It suits travellers who want warmth without the higher temperatures of late summer. July and August both average 30°C by day, so plan active time for mornings and leave room for shade at midday. July has the least rain and averages 12 hours of sunshine a day. August has the warmest sea at 26°C, but nights averaging 22°C offer less relief from the heat. Pack light clothes, sun protection and something to cover up with; a room that stays cool matters more now than in spring.
Autumn: warm water, but more changeable plans
September still feels summery on temperature alone, with days averaging 27°C and the sea 25°C. The trade-off is rain: 7 rainy days make it less dependable for uninterrupted outdoor plans than June or July. October stays warm enough for light clothing on many afternoons, averaging 23°C, while the sea holds at 22°C. It is also the wettest month, with 8 rainy days, so it suits travellers who can work around showers rather than those relying on daily sunshine. November drops to 18°C by day and 11°C at night. Bring layers and rain protection, and treat swimming as an option for those comfortable with cooler water rather than the main reason to go.
