Plan around the heat, not just the sunshine

The average high of 30.3°C is useful guidance, but hotter days are a real part of July: 59% of days reach 30°C, and the warmest 10% reach at least 33.1°C. Put longer walks and anything energetic earlier in the day, leaving the midday hours for shade, a leisurely meal or a rest indoors. Light, loose clothing, sunscreen and water belong in your daily routine rather than being backup items. Nights average 22.3°C, so you should not expect a sharp cool-down after sunset. If you struggle to sleep in warmth, accommodation with air conditioning is a sensible priority rather than an optional extra.

Warm water makes swimming a strong reason to go

With an average sea temperature of 25.3°C, July is well suited to travellers who want swimming to be a regular part of their holiday. The year-to-year range of 24°C to 26°C suggests warm water rather than a bracing dip, though personal comfort will vary. There is also plenty of time to fit swimming around other plans, with about 12 hours of sunshine within 14.5 hours of daylight. You do not need to spend the hottest part of the day in direct sun to make use of that. Keep shade breaks in the plan, and remember that warm water does not tell you how calm the sea will be.

Rain is unlikely to dictate your plans

July's dry weather makes outdoor plans a reasonable default. With about 1 rainy day during the month, a holiday organised around swimming, outdoor meals and time outside is a better fit than one built around wet-weather alternatives. That does not mean every day is guaranteed to stay dry, so leave some flexibility rather than treating the monthly pattern as a forecast. For packing, sun protection and breathable clothes deserve more attention than heavy rainwear. The main compromise is not rainfall but the sustained warmth: travellers happy to slow down in the afternoon will find the conditions easier to work with than those wanting to stay active throughout the day.
