Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

July: quieter than usual. Busiest in March and June; quietest in January and August.

What to pack

  • Summer clothes by day, highs around 32°C.

  • Sun protection: about 8 hours of sunshine a day.
  • Humidity averages 84%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
