🏊 Swimmable sea this month (≥22°C)
Bastia sits in the Mediterranean basin in France, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the July peak reaches a 99/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 30°C — a solid base for a long-weekend city trip.
The year runs from average lows of 7°C in January to highs of 30°C in July. On the rain ledger, July is the safest bet at a 10% chance of a wet day, while November climbs to 37%. Beach-warm afternoons (24°C and up) hold through June–September.
Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 18°C highs with 28% rain-day odds, summer 29°C at 15%, autumn 21°C at 31%, and winter 14°C at 27%. In short: plan around summer if you can, keep autumn as the fallback, and go into winter with managed expectations (its season score is 58). For warmth without the densest crowds, the shoulder play is June: still 27°C highs, with a sun score of 98.
