When to go
From our 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Peak summer sits at 21–23°C — the harbour baths, the cycling and the long light make it Europe's most liveable warm-weather city. Its own heatwaves push 28–30°C for a few days most summers: cooler than the Med, never arctic. May and September are mild, bright and cheaper.
