mediterranean climate · beach · high crowds · premium prices
There are 110 mediterranean destinations in our catalog, and Cannes's numbers hold their own: a 99/100 sun score at its July peak, when rain interrupts barely 7% of days. For a beach trip in the Mediterranean basin, the data is a good starting point.
The year runs from average lows of 5°C in January to highs of 30°C in August. Rain is most likely in November, when about 31% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in July (7%). Beach-warm afternoons (24°C and up) hold through June–September.
The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 29°C against winter's 14°C, while rain-day odds move from 21% in winter and 24% in spring to 12% in summer and 25% through autumn. In short: plan around summer if you can, keep spring 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 97.
