Tips for August

  • The water is 26.1 °C: comfortable for almost everyone, and a good time for boat trips, kayaking and snorkelling.

  • Highs of 31.3 °C: do excursions and walks early and keep midday for the water or the shade.

  • Hardly any rain (1.7 days on average): the sun is the real risk. Always carry sunscreen, a hat and water.

  • It gets dark around 20:46: plenty of light left for coastal sunsets.
