Winter, from December to mid-March, is mild but rainy, especially in December and January, when 100/110 millimeters (40/43 inches) of rain fall per month. However, there is a moderate amount of sunny days as well. Sometimes, a cold wind from the north can blow, and the minimum temperature at sea level can drop to 0 °C (32 °F).

Spring, from mid-March to May, is mild; rainfall becomes gradually rarer over the weeks, and fine weather becomes more and more frequent. May is a good month, before the summer heat.

Summer, from June to mid-September, is hot and sunny: the maximum temperature often exceeds 30 °C (86 °F) and can even reach 35 °C (95 °F), especially in July and August; at the worst, it can reach 40 °C (104 °F). Luckily, sea breezes blow, providing relief, at least when the heat is not excessive, and in any case, you can cool yourself in the sea.

Autumn, from mid-September to November, is mild (and initially, even quite warm) and rainy. In October, there may still be many sunny days.
