Winter: mild afternoons, cool evenings
December to February suits travellers who do not need beach heat. December averages 15°C by day, slipping to 14°C in January and February, so a mild afternoon can still call for a jacket rather than summer clothes. January and February nights average 9°C: pack warmer layers if you plan to stay out after dark. With 6 to 7 rainy days a month, keep outdoor plans flexible and bring a waterproof. The sea is cold for casual swimming, falling from 17°C in December to 14°C in February. Treat winter as a chance for walks in the milder part of the day, not dependable sunbathing weather.
Spring into June: choose walking weather or warmer water
March and April are better for being active outdoors than spending long periods in the sea. Daytime averages rise from 16°C to 18°C, but evenings still need layers and the water remains cool. May is a useful middle ground: days average 22°C with 4 rainy days, making it a good choice if summer heat puts you off. Its 18°C sea is the catch for swimmers who like warm water. June shifts towards beach weather, with a 22°C sea and 11 hours of sunshine. Rain becomes less frequent too, averaging 3 days. Choose May for gentler daytime warmth or June if swimming matters more, and carry sun protection for long spells outdoors.
July to November: peak heat gives way to wetter warmth
July and August suit travellers who put swimming and hot weather first. Both average 29°C by day, so leave energetic outings for cooler hours and take shade at midday. July has the fewest rainy days, while August brings the warmest sea at 26°C; nights stay warm, so light clothing is useful after dark. September offers a softer balance, with 26°C days and a 25°C sea, but its 7 rainy days make flexible plans more important. October still averages 22°C by day and the sea holds at 23°C, though rain is more frequent. By November, daytime warmth drops to 18°C and the sea to 19°C. Pack layers and a waterproof rather than expecting the dry, hot conditions of midsummer.
