How the months are picked.A month qualifies when its average high sits in the comfortable 20–28 °C band (scored down towards 9 °C and 37 °C), rain days are few and sunshine hours are high — at least 78 % of the city's best-scoring month. July and August are then set aside as peak season (school-holiday crowds and prices) whenever at least three other months qualify; where summer is the only comfortable window they stay. Figures are ten-year averages (2016-01-01 to 2025-12-31) from ERA5 reanalysis data via Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) for the city centre coordinates.
When to go, and what to expect
Spring (Mar–May)

The prime window; visit in June for the same warmth with lighter crowds.
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
September is ideal — warm, golden and calmer than midsummer.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
For snow-lovers and low-season calm, but days are short and cold.
