Warm days, with little relief at night

Expect summer warmth rather than consistently fierce heat: 84% of July days reach 25°C, while only 1% reach 30°C. That makes July a reasonable choice if you like warm holidays but dislike very high temperatures. Those figures are not a ceiling, though, so keep outdoor plans flexible if a hotter spell arrives. Humidity averages 76%, which can make the warmth feel more noticeable, particularly when you are active. Choose loose, breathable clothes and leave more demanding outings for earlier or later in the day. With average night lows around 23°C, cooling in your accommodation is worth prioritising if you struggle to sleep when it is warm.

Dry weather and long sunny days

Rain is unlikely to shape your holiday: July averages about 0 rainy days, so there is little reason to build your plans around wet weather. That does not guarantee a completely rain-free stay, but lightweight summer clothing deserves more space in your bag than heavy waterproofs. Sunshine averages about 12.4 hours within 13.6 hours of daylight, leaving a long window for being outside. The practical catch is prolonged sun exposure rather than rainfall. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat, and make shade part of your midday routine. You can spread outdoor time across the day rather than feeling you need to do everything around lunchtime.
