The Mediterranean has a changeable climate, depending on the season, but dry, hot and sunny days are to be expected in the peak summer months and often during spring and into fall. It’s not out of the question for temperatures to exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) in July or August, while even September and October can herald warm and pleasant weather. If you’re hoping to spend time relaxing on some of the Mediterranean’s sandy beaches, it’s best to avoid travel during November to March when temperatures are cooler and days can be fresh and rainy.
