Seasons
On average, there are 300 days of uninterrupted sun per year and few days of rain. The region only averages 55.5 days of rain per year with 75% of rainfall occurring during the winter months. Spring and Autumn sees 16% of rainfall and Summer only 2%.

Summer (April to November)
Summers are essentially 8 to 9 months long. July and August can be scorching hot, with temperatures going over 40 degrees Celsius at times.
Though these maximum temperatures are harsh, the Mediterranean Sea breezes and north easterly winds from the inland provide welcome relief. The cool breeze that blows off the sea is particularly refreshing, and the soft westerly wind known locally as the ‘Dokkun’ cools the city down in the evenings.

Winter (December to March)
The Winter months are mild. December and January are the wettest months, receiving 238 mm monthly precipitation each on average.
