Warm days without reliably high heat

July suits travellers who prefer warmth they can comfortably plan around rather than a holiday built around avoiding extreme temperatures. Only 22% of days reach 25°C, so do not book expecting that level of heat every afternoon. Light summer clothing should cover most daytime plans, while the average night low of 20.5°C means evenings generally stay mild. Humidity averages 77%, which may make the air feel closer than the temperature alone suggests. A light layer is still a useful option if you tend to feel cool after sitting outside. The overall judgement is warm summer weather, not dependable strong heat.

Dry weather and plenty of usable daylight

Rain is unlikely to be the thing that disrupts your July plans: there are about 0 rainy days, making this a sensible month if dry weather matters more to you than very high temperatures. Sunshine averages 8.8 hours within 13.7 hours of daylight, leaving plenty of room for outdoor time without needing to fit everything around midday. That does not mean uninterrupted sunshine, so allow for some cloud rather than expecting clear skies throughout. Keep sun protection handy even though the average high is moderate, and take shade breaks when you need them. Waterproof clothing is less of a packing priority than comfortable summer clothes.

The sea is the main compromise

The sea averages 21.5°C in July, with a year-to-year range of 21°C to 22°C. That puts it in the bracing category rather than comfortably warm swimming water. If you enjoy a refreshing dip, this may be perfectly acceptable; if you usually hesitate before getting into cooler water, it is the main reason to think carefully about July. Plan swimming around how comfortable you feel rather than assuming warm air means warm sea. Dry clothes for afterwards are useful, especially if you stay out into the evening. July works better for a mix of swimming and time on land than for travellers whose priority is lingering in warm water.
