Expect heat that lasts into the evening

August is a good fit if you like reliably hot days, but less suitable if you prefer to stay active throughout the afternoon. Temperatures reach 30°C on 42% of days, so hotter spells are a regular possibility rather than an unusual interruption. Humidity averages 68%, which can make the warmth feel more noticeable, especially when you are walking around. Plan anything energetic for the morning, leave room for shade breaks and carry water. Nights offer limited relief from the daytime heat, making air conditioning a sensible priority when choosing accommodation. Pack mostly light, loose clothing rather than expecting cool evenings.

Warm water makes swimming an easy choice

The sea is a strong reason to choose August. At an average of 26.3°C, it is comfortably in swimming territory rather than something you need to brace yourself for. The year-to-year range of 26°C to 27°C also points to consistently warm water for this month, though it does not guarantee conditions on any particular day. That makes a holiday built around swims and time by the water a better match than one centred on prolonged exertion in the heat. Keep sun protection handy even when the water feels refreshing, and favour morning or later-afternoon sessions if you find midday heat tiring.

Plenty of sunshine, with room for a wet spell

With about 10.2 hours of sunshine within 13.6 hours of daylight, August gives you plenty of scope to spend time outside without making the hottest part of the day your main activity window. Take sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen, and think about access to shade when planning your days. Rain is not absent: there are about 4 rainy days in the month, so a completely dry stay is not guaranteed. Keep your plans flexible enough to swap an outdoor afternoon if needed. The overall balance favours summer clothing and sun protection, with a light waterproof as a backup rather than heavy wet-weather kit.
