Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.

When to go

From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.
RecommendedAvoid

Mild from March to November. The Mistral funnels down from the Rhône and tempers heatwaves; the sea warms slower than the Spanish Med but holds 23–24°C through mid-October. Winter is around 12°C, lovely for walking.
