Winter and spring: mild afternoons, cool water

December to February suits travellers who prefer cool conditions for walking rather than lying in the sun. December averages 15°C by day, while January and February sit at 14°C; February nights fall to 9°C, so bring a proper evening layer. Each winter month averages 7 rain days, making a waterproof useful. March brings a modest lift to 16°C, and April reaches 18°C, comfortable for time outdoors with a jumper handy. May is the clearer step towards summer: days average 21°C with 8 hours of sunshine. The catch is the sea, still only 18°C in May after colder spring conditions. Choose late spring for warmer afternoons, but do not expect swimming to feel as comfortable as it does in summer.

Summer: the strongest choice for sun and swimming

June offers warmth without the highest summer averages: days reach 25°C, nights stay around 19°C and the sea reaches 22°C. With 3 rain days, it is a strong choice for spending most of your holiday outdoors. July is the driest month, averaging just 1 rain day and 12 hours of sunshine, so it suits travellers prioritising reliable beach weather. August is hottest, with daytime averages of 29°C, nights of 23°C and sea water at 26°C. The trade-off is less relief from the warmth after sunset. Pack light clothing and sun protection, and leave room for shade and a slower pace around midday, especially in July and August.

Autumn: lingering sea warmth, more changeable plans

September keeps much of summer's warmth, with days averaging 26°C and the sea still at 25°C. It suits swimming holidays if you can accept a greater chance of wet weather: rain days rise to 7, so keep outdoor plans flexible. October is cooler but remains mild at 22°C by day, with the sea also at 22°C. An evening layer becomes more useful as nights average 18°C. By November, daytime temperatures ease to 18°C and the sea falls to 19°C, making it a better fit for walking than a holiday centred on swimming. October and November each average 8 rain days, so pack a waterproof rather than relying on sunshine throughout.
