Plan your days around the heat
July suits travellers who are happy to slow down when the heat builds. Daytime temperatures reach 30°C on 59% of days, so that level of warmth is a regular feature rather than an occasional bonus. The hotter days reach around 33°C or more, making shade and breaks indoors sensible parts of your plans. Put longer walks in the morning and leave the middle of the day for less demanding activities. Light, loose clothing, sunscreen and a hat belong in your bag. With average night lows around 22°C, do not count on a distinctly cool evening to reset after a hot afternoon; air conditioning is worth prioritising in your accommodation.
Good swimming weather, with little rain to work around
The sea averages 25.3°C, making July a good choice if swimming is central to your holiday. Its year-to-year range of 24°C to 26°C suggests water that is warm rather than bracing, though personal comfort varies. There is also plenty of time outdoors, with about 12 hours of sunshine within 14.5 hours of daylight. That does not mean spending all those hours in direct sun is comfortable: build in shade, especially around midday. About 1 rainy day is typical, so wet weather is unlikely to dominate your plans. Pack mainly for heat rather than rain, while keeping some flexibility for the occasional wet spell.
