Climate and Weather
The local climate is strongly influenced by the sea, with mild temperatures year-round and especially abundant sunshine, even in winter when the sun shines for an average of five or six hours a day. In short, it never gets cold in winter (average of 15°C), though the weather can be a bit windy and rainy, as is often the case at the end of the year. In summer, sea breezes moderate the heat, particularly in July and August, the hottest months, when temperatures can sometimes exceed 30°C.
