Winter: mild days, cooler swimming

December to February suits travellers who want mild weather without summer heat, but it is less convincing for a holiday centred on swimming. December averages 21°C by day, easing to 20°C in January and February, so light daytime clothing and a jumper for evenings make sense. Night-time averages fall to 16°C in January and February. The sea cools from 21°C in December to 19°C in February, which may feel brisk if you prefer warm water. December has the most rain days, averaging 4, though dry weather still leaves room for outdoor plans. February brings 8 hours of sunshine, making it brighter than December without being warmer.

Spring into June: warmth builds before the sea catches up

March and April are good for travellers who prefer being outdoors without much heat: daytime averages rise from 21°C to 22°C, while nights remain at 16°C. Keep a light layer handy after sunset, and do not expect the sea to match the improving air temperature; it stays at 19°C through April. May feels more suited to a beach holiday, with 23°C days, warmer evenings and just 1 rain day on average. June offers a useful balance before the hottest weather, reaching 24°C with 12 hours of sunshine. Its 21°C sea is warmer than in spring, though swimmers who dislike cooler water may prefer to wait until later.

July to November: summer heat, then warmer-water autumn

July and August suit travellers who want the strongest combination of heat, sunshine and dry weather. Daytime averages reach 27°C and 28°C respectively, and both average 0 rain days, though that is not a promise of rain-free weather. Plan shade breaks around midday rather than keeping active throughout the hottest part of the day. September is a strong alternative, with 26°C days and a 23°C sea. October keeps that sea warmth as daytime temperatures ease to 25°C, but sunshine drops to 7 hours and rain becomes more likely. November remains mild at 23°C, with a 22°C sea, although shorter sunshine hours make it less suited to travellers seeking long sunny days.
