Expect proper heat, not just warm afternoons
Daytime temperatures reach 30°C on 91% of July days, so plan around heat being the norm rather than an occasional bonus. The warmest 10% of days reach 37.5°C or more, when long spells outdoors can feel hard work. Put longer walks in the morning, keep the middle of the day flexible, and choose accommodation with air conditioning if warm nights affect your sleep. Light, loose clothing, a hat and regular water breaks make sense. Evenings are warm on average, so heavy layers are unlikely to earn their place in your luggage, though a light layer may still be useful on a cooler night.
Warm swimming water and little need for a rain plan
The sea is comfortably warm for swimming, with July temperatures ranging from 24°C to 26°C between years. That makes this a good month if time in the water matters more to you than cooler weather for walking. Rain is unlikely to disrupt plans, with about 0 rainy days in a typical July, though that is not a guarantee of completely dry weather. Sunshine averages 12.9 hours a day, giving you plenty of scope to enjoy the coast outside the hottest part of the day. Pack sun protection and make shade part of your routine: dry weather is convenient, but it does not make the heat easier to handle.
