For July and August, think light cotton, a sun hat, high-factor sun cream and something to cover up in the midday heat; with highs of 31°C and nights around 23°C to 24°C, you will rarely need more than a thin layer after dark. June and early September are similar, though a compact umbrella earns its place in September.

In spring and autumn, from March to May and October to November, pack for warm days in the low to mid 20s and cooler evenings, with a light jacket or jumper and a waterproof for May and October showers. From December to February, daytime highs of 17°C to 18°C feel pleasant in the sun, but nights fall to around 9°C, so bring a warmer jacket, long trousers and closed shoes for evenings out.
