What to expect
  • Temperature feel - Pleasant warmth with an even, steady feel across the day. In the sun, it often feels warmer than you’d guess.
  • Showers & dry spells - Some rain, some shine. Showers tend to come in pulses rather than lingering. You’ll want a proper rain setup rather than a ‘just in case’.
  • Sun exposure - High UV at midday. Plan big outdoor blocks earlier or later to dodge the peak. Even short walks can add up.
  • Exposure - Refreshing breezes, and gusts can make exposed walks feel cooler and more blustery. It’s the kind of wind you plan around for viewpoints and coastal walks.
