Plan around the heat, not just the sunshine

July's heat is consistent rather than occasional: 96% of days reach 30°C, while the hottest 10% reach at least 38.4°C. That makes early mornings the sensible time for anything active, with shaded breaks during the middle of the day. Pack loose, lightweight clothing, a sunhat and sunscreen, and keep water handy. Evenings are cooler than afternoons, but an average low of 23.1°C means you should not expect a crisp finish to the day. Air conditioning is a sensible accommodation priority, particularly if warm bedrooms affect your sleep. If you struggle with sustained heat, July is a demanding choice rather than a comfortable all-rounder.

Warm swimming weather with little rain

The sea averages 27.8°C, making July well suited to travellers who want warm water rather than a bracing dip. Swimming offers a break from the air temperature, although the water will not feel cold. There are about 13.5 hours of sunshine a day, so you have plenty of scope to shift time outdoors towards the morning or later afternoon rather than staying exposed at midday. With about 1 rainy day during the month, wet weather is unlikely to shape your holiday, though a shower remains possible. Prioritise shade and sun protection over wet-weather clothing, and avoid treating clear skies as a reason to stay outside continuously.
