Winter and spring: mild afternoons, cool evenings

Winter suits travellers who prefer mild afternoons to swimming weather. January averages 12°C by day, while December and February reach 13°C; nights are cold enough to need a warm jacket. The sea stays chilly through spring, so sunshine alone is not a good reason to pack for a beach holiday. March brings daytime averages of 16°C, rising to 18°C in April and 22°C in May. That makes late spring more comfortable for spending time outside, though May evenings still average 12°C. Keep a jumper and waterproof handy: April and May each average 10 rainy days. May is the better spring choice for warmth, but its 17°C sea will feel brisk if you prefer lingering in the water.

Summer: the best balance for beach weather

June brings warm days averaging 26°C without the higher daytime heat of July and August. Its 20°C sea is cooler than later in summer, so it suits travellers who value comfortable air temperatures more than warm water. July has the strongest sunshine figures, with 10 hours daily and 6 rainy days, alongside daytime averages of 28°C. August is hotter at 29°C and has the warmest sea at 25°C, but slightly more frequent rain. Plan shade breaks around midday and pack light clothing for evenings: August nights average 20°C. For swimming and sunshine together, July and August are the clearest choices, though neither promises dry weather throughout your stay.

Autumn: warm water first, jacket weather later

September keeps much of summer's warmth, with daytime averages of 25°C and a 23°C sea. It suits travellers who want to swim without the highest summer temperatures, but its 11 rainy days mean outdoor plans need flexibility. October remains mild at 21°C by day, and the sea averages 20°C, although it is the wettest month overall. Take a waterproof and something warmer for evenings rather than relying on beach clothes alone. By November, daytime temperatures fall to 16°C and nights to 8°C. With less sunshine and a cooler sea, the emphasis shifts towards making use of mild daytime spells rather than planning a swimming holiday.
